Maybe I'm a bit biased but the Prototipo in my opinion is the sexiest race car steering wheel out there! The build quality is excellent! Zero flex.

Hi All

Lots of interesting Ideas. I managed to fit 914, and standard gauges without cutting the dash. Used an EMPI Accessory pod under the ashtray to hold less important pieces, and put the stereo in a fiberglass glove box.

Did every trick I could think of to make modifications reversable, no dash cuts, and modular so each section could be removed. I did end up cutting the ring for the speedo out of the center. In retrospect the stereo in the dash was a good plan, the car is loud enough that I don't really play the stereo much, but it sounds amazing when the car is parked!

This location works nicely for my 74 super.

Worth a visit; there are other similar videos of using an "analouge" though in reality digital cluster that looks very good and enables a huge amount of customization. I have another video in mind, if I can find it...
