Building a Gardner Douglas 427 AC Cobra replica classic sports car: Comments please on dashboard design

Comments please on dashboard design

Originally I was going to copy Keith Townsend's dash layout, then Noel Hirst's. Now I am not so sure. I said that I reserved the right to change my mind and I have. I would like to be more individual. So here is my dashboard layout as at today! Before I fully commit, I would appreciate your comments.

Dashboard design as at October 2015

The head light warnings are the two nearest the steering wheel. The starter button is to the right of the steering wheel and the hazard light switch is to the left of this behind the steering wheel. If you click on the photo it should enlarge and show what the dials and warning lamps are.

How to use this blog

This is a record of my Cobra sports car build. If you want to create a Cobra too, this step by step diary may help you or simply give you some advice on how to go about it.

The blog is not an official GD site and is not endorsed by them, nor does the blog indicate that I endorse the GD product in any way. It is simply a record of what I did.

If you are interested in the build process, then just look at the posts in chronological order. My blog shows the most recent posts first. Look out for the 'Older posts' link at the bottom of any page.

If you are interested in a specific area of the build e.g. brakes, then click on 'Brakes' under 'Build process' and you will just see stuff about the brakes. Do look at the "Things that went wrong" category to see lessons that I learned the hard way during the build. Where possible I have added a note to the relevant post too. Remember that the posts are shown with the newest first.

Should you want to see other people's builds, suppliers or other elements please just click on the appropriate link provided below.
