You can put that on the ferry and drop in Mount Vernon when you are done. Looks like a good start. -Derek

the dash or the car?
finished with the tweeking today. had to move the hole for the steering column down 3/32" and mount the guages to see what it looked like. start with the walnut tomorrow
I am told that tthe guages were $2,000,00

Looks good. $2K for the gauges that is rich.

I wanna see the engine compartment - you jammed a Honda S2K under a Morgan body? You are gonna have one screaming car there.

I am only making the dash board for a custom shop who is building the car for a customer. they tell me that 4 cyl puts out about 245 hp
I will have pics of the car when it is all together

Yep - that's about right - with a redline at 8,000. Until someone bolts on a blower or a turbo............

Look fwd to seeing photos of your finished work when available.

And the finished car also - complete with engine bay.....

Actually the 2003 and before S2000's, had 240+ hp and a redline to 9000. It was a great track car. If they can get a rigid chassis, the S2Morgan would be a beast. An acquaintance of mine dropped a blower in a 2001 S2K, after upgrading the tranny, clutch, and differential, it was almost drivable. Just really too touchy for anything but the track.

Terrific, Ron!! Gorgeous work on the dash.

Thanks or the shots of the engine compartment. That is going to be one screamer of a car.

[Gus Dundon]

I have enjoyed watching this one develop. Just amazing.

[ron david]

well a month has gone by and it hasn't fallen out yet ( I didn't install it).I did make it fit where it was to go and they installed the screws. looks like it has darkened up a little
