Cool idea, I just left mine out since I couldn't find much use for it.

Yes no need for it if you're not using the bumper guards.
Thanks

So that's what it's for! Yeap, I didn't use the guards so that's likely why I couldn't make any sense of its purpose.

Boxed in the upper core support, amazing how much strongerit is now. I think I could pick the car up from it! I will use it run and hidethe wires for the fans, horns, AC, andlights.
Thanks

Made tool to roll the top edge of the core support right at1”

That looks great, and what a good idea, never seen that before.

I did the same on my 64 Polara......amazing how much stiffer that piece of metal makes the support!

Yes it is a great stiffener, I'm surprised US Car Tool doesn't make the part as I think it would sell.
Thanks

Received my restored dash and instrument panel from Auto instruments very happy with their workmanship and the re-plastic plating.
Thanks

Man did they do a nice job on that, looks better than new. I love the boxed core support and your right about the wiring, perfect place for it. This is one of the things I regret not doing but is on the list whenever I do any bodywork in that area. Great job

 

[Glenwood]

wow they look like new!

 

[HYRDGOON]

Fantastic!!

 

[Homstead]

I don't remember instrument panels ever looking that good when new!

Looking good. Great looking dash/instrument panel.

After a few failed attempts we finally came up with the correct formula to make the bumper guard crossmember. We were having problems with the carbon fiber bunching up on top of the mold when in the vacuum bag. The carbon fiber on the mold side look excellent so we decided to hand lay a final layer of carbon fiber on the top side after it was removed from the mold. I'm not sure if I'm going to go with the carbon fiber look or if I'm going to end up painting it black so it would be undetectable. The steel crossmember is about 6 pounds and I ended up with the carbon fiber weighing in at 1 lb. 4 oz.
Thanks
