Damn thats nice! You gonna sell kits?

Naahh. not going to sell kits. only the instruments wil cost you 300$ from summit. and the panel is cnc milled out from a 15mm thick block of 7075-T6 aluminium. (Harder than steel). so if i should mass produce this, it would be so expensive than no one would buy it...

But i could give you the CNC drawings if i get royalties when someone starts to produce it.

I think the hood scoop on the UniRoyal racers is pretty menacing looking.
I like the styling and aggressive look of the UniRoyal cars...if I could get mine to look like that I would.

Perhaps some NACA ducts under scoop to feed fresh air to carbs or even a oil cooler mounted in the rear somewhere.

Ive seen people mount an oil cooler w/ fan under the parcel tray near the tranny so I could see how a scoop with ducts could help force more air over the cooler. Probably more air than the fan alone could draw.

To each his own...

It is definitely nice........you get 5 Stars and 3 Hoo-Rahs!!! I used the same set up in a '57 Bug that I drag raced back in the early '60s. It was in a smooth dash though. It would have looked much better if the white faced ones were available back then. There are a few instrument companies that have small led warning lights that would be great to mount above the "problem area" guage/guages,to draw your attemtion to that specific guage/guages. Just a thought.

Best of luck,

Anything good that you do to a VW.....keeps it alive!
The question is: What is the speed of darkness?
Dash plaque for the car: "Faster than the Speed of Darkness"
