Well, finally got a chance to do a custom project on a fox body again. It's been a while, as most of my time has been inside the S197's or 03/04 Cobras lately.
This is a gauge panel my friend and I made for a local friend of ours. He's building a 5.4L powered 79 Mustang. He wanted to change the dash up a bit, and we got involved. This is a "skin" which will reside over a more solid base assembly, and fit the factory dash panel location.
We used a new toy in our shop, a Microscribe G2 digitizer, to sample the points from the OEM panel, and based our CAD files on those dimesions. Here's a screenshot of the rendering:
And here's the panel being test fit with a few gauges:
Can't wait to see it in-car, and I'll try to get some pics when this happens.
Just wanted to share, as I don't get to work on fox body projects as much as I'd like to.
