Dash Panels Are Looking Great!!

After just one day of shipping my dash panels have arrived.  There was a lot of work that went into figuring out all the panel measurements and details along with creating the vector art for the cutting machines but in the end it was all worth it 🙂

I’ve been working with Bill from TechniSoft who has been absolutely awesome!  Bill double checked my work, found mistakes and gave me a chance to correct them before the machines did the engraving and cutting.  The whole experience working with Technisoft has been an absolute pleasure.

 You can start to see what the panels will look like with the LED’s added, the PlayBook mounted and gauges inserted.  I’m VERY happy with how the panels turned out.  All I have to do is paint the outside edges of each of the panels with some satin black and they’ll be good to go!

    Wow, Tim those look great! Your car is really going to benefit from you putting inthe extra effort to make it a very authentic looking Batmobile. Do you think it would be possible that Bill at technisoft might accept additional orders for some dash panels?:-)

    Absolutely, just grab my PDF templates and let him know you saw my panels and want the same ones 🙂

    I would think that with a computerized display, none of those blinky, knob-y stuff are necessary anymore. It has always bothered me in Star Trek, and it’s bothering me about this project.
    If you can just get a display that shows all possible information, and use the touch screen to control EVERYTHING.

      I’ve wanted to keep the interior as close to screen accurate as I can. Most of the switches/leds are for show. Only some are functional

    […] I also needed to fix the cutout around the steering column which I had hacked up previously just to get things to fit.  The side of the dash near your right leg also needed to be extended towards the driver in order to properly install the dash panels. […]

    […] I had been doing some test fitting of the the dash panels, gauges, LEDs and switches a while ago, so now I needed to take it all apart to ensure that I didn’t ruin any of the equipment or dash panels. […]

    […] While the glue was drying I cut some pieces of 90 degree aluminium that will be placed on the inside edges of the rear wall that frame the rear switch panel.  These will be painted flat black to go with the rest of the interior.  I also created the vector art for the rear switch panel that will be created using the same process as the dash panels.
