I don't think that the Mini switches go well with the Fiero HVAC or the overall design. Too prominent. Something elegant and unobtrusive would be better IMO.

where did you get these?
I've been wanting to do fender extensions for the front of my 88 so I can use a second set of rear 88 Black wheels up front to widen the stnce a bit.
shoot me a PM if you ever have time. Thanks!!

I made it.

I agree.

I'm all for the billet buttons. They look great. I would need labels on my toggles so my brain won't be in a boggle.

Rob,

The surround went out today. Forgot I had your address on the box for my i512 nose!

That's smart thinking! I like it!

No G-1 updates in a week? Withdrawal sets in...!

Sent you a PM Amida
Thanks.

An "F" to the "G"....harvesting mounting flanges from the donor dash.

Are you still able to reproduce the F40 dash? I'm actually interested in ordering one sometime around august.

Continuing the G1 dash model mockup.

More adjustments to positioning & shape as I zero-in on a setup that will work best with the stock Fiero gauges and the G6 glove box. But , I've been on hold waiting for delivery of some Fiero dash parts. More adjustments may be needed depending on how the Fiero dash is layed out. The Fi40 dash prototype is used as a base structure providing the needed mounting flanges.



The G6 glovebox assembly will work with this dash, but it is very close to the heater unit and I will likely have to trim the back of the box a little to get more clearance to position the box better.

Yes. This is good.

HI all

Have you ever made a custom dash, takin the current like the 355 then adding ideas onto it?

Thanx all,

Ear-ick...

oh man, K has got that glazed over look in his eyes

Just curious, with the laid back windshield, would this design work in a choptop ??

quote Originally posted by exoticse: Just curious, with the laid back windshield, would this design work in a choptop ??

I would say that if the stock Fiero dash fits in a chop top then the G1 dash should also fit.

How much leg room/cabin room do we lose with the glove box? How does the room behind the dash change in that area? Do we gain/lose additional room? Maybe a great area for someone to mount an 8", or 10" subwoofer, should they choose to.

When you get a chance, I would love to see pictures from the driver's side/perspective, and/or from outside, or above the car (which would show how far the dash sticks out vs. stock)

While this may be a niche market, it may be interesting how this dash looks with the AD 355 7" extended windshield, or the Sebring windshield, and the tray that goes with it.

did you get the dash I sent you?
D.

Not sure yet

Love the G1 dash so far keep the updates comeing. Being as this is an updated dash any thought to adding a cup holder?

quote Originally posted by Twinn: Love the G1 dash so far keep the updates comeing. Being as this is an updated dash any thought to adding a cup holder?

Yes, the most likely place to put a cup hold would be back on the armrest. However, that would be up to the individual to do the fabrication as the G1 dash will go as far back as the shifter surround. It will be designed to go with the stock Fiero armrest. The other option would be to purchase a cup holder accessory at your local auto parts store.

Looking good!

Looks sweet

Maybe these dashes could help a bit with inspiration as well, those are among my favorite dashes:
