I guess the only variable left is the degrees of adjustment that the headlight has to compensate for the wrong pitch angle, the jaguar F type headlights have a ton of adjustment side to side but not sure if enough on the vertical plane, I will find out soon. Great work as always Scott.

Thanks for the kind words Rich. I have been dreaming for a long time about the first drive to work, the gas station and the first car show. Especially after the long days and nights in the garage. It certainly has been a labor of love and lots of learning curves. Some of it very enjoyable...

Thanks Rob, Wow , a PhD dissertation, I never attended one, I bet that was cool. Although probably was way over everyone's head. Yes, proud dad for sure, can't wait to see what he does. He certainly has helped me a lot with all the electrical stuff. I will miss him A LOT!!! I have been...

Thanks Mark, it just takes time and going through the learning curves. And always be willing to compromise a little. your paint job is not bad at all.

Thanks Kurt. You are welcome any time, you can stay at my place. We have an extra bedroom. My goal is to drive to the midwest in the SLC this summer (my dad lives in Evansville IN) . Lofty goal, we'll see.

And to keep things going, just started the tail light project. It certainly is going to be interesting .... Morimoto lambo style C7 sequential tail lights . Lights are a bit curved, which is not a big deal, the length on the other hand is going to be a serious challenge... so here I go again ...

Here is a video of the horns. I think is pretty funny. sound board has a USB interface any sound files can be downloaded https://youtube.com/shorts/HIw6nzeEW7w?feature=share

And finally , everything comes together for a nice looking interior , I believe . I am super happy with the final product and I learned a lot.

Since the upgraded gated shifter does not fit the standard center console I had to offset it to the passenger side and create closeout panels , I wrapped them in leather and the end result is not bad, I wanted the center console to be easily removed with the shifter in place and that is the only...

I painted the gated shifter and the shifter shaft black since the aluminum finish did not match my black and gold theme, however the paint is not going to hold out well, if anyone has any tips on how to black anodize the gate please let me know, otherwise I will to continuously touch it up, but...

Rear view of the completed dashboard. Note that I mounted as many things as possible to the dashboard. The stereo, , AIM unit , 2 crossovers, amplifier, twitters, Sirius XM unit and antenna , and traction control unit . all the connections to the mid range speakers and subwoofer, outside...

The idea of the tan leather inserts was so that the dashboard will flow well with the center console , so wrapped the center console with tan leather that matches the seats . I tried wrap , but it was too fragile for center console use , so decided leather was the best option. First try did not...

Miguel wanted a fancy horn system, so in addition to a compressed air horn, designed a sound board , sounds can be downloaded easily, and we have 3 horn buttons, the red one is the air horn. super loud. Can't wait to get besides someone texting and driving or cutting me off:) I added 2 super...

Then wrap this baby in beautiful leather. Doing it without stitching with a single hide was super hard, and in some areas you can see where it was impossible to stretch any further and I had to make cuts, then repair it with a leather repair kit. I still have to fine touch some areas , but I am...

had to made a few changes to the dashboard to improve fitment and clear gaps with the body, it needed a dimple to allow the bright light lever to slide all the way forward, (I figure it was easier than move the steering column again, which I did several times already :) ) I had to add fiberglass...

Thanks Dave, that would have been a lot easier, on the bright side, the aluminum is much stronger on the edges and it is a tight fit on the fiberglass .

Miguel made a nice case for the traction control unit , but the 3D printed plastic does not have a nice finish, so I made a black anodized aluminum plate cover, turned out very nice , I have a tiny CNC machine, unfortunately not quite strong enough to cut aluminum , so all done by hand. I will...

Well, I don't post as often as I want to, I just feel that getting a significant step done is the time, unfortunately days and weeks go by fast, it took me 2 months to finish the dashboard, that is a bit disheartening, but that is how this project goes . Of course using leather over soft touch...

Wow!!! That is an incredible amount of love and time into the project . thanks for the updates David.

Eric: I finally got a set from the factory, had to wait for a couple of years though. Have not installed it yet
