cool,

as far as the interior being a mess, i disagree. I think just because you see lots of brightly coloured stickers for the toggle switches to help identify them, and colourfull wires coming out of the devices you think its messy, its really not.

No it’s a mess… I’d be interested to find out what guages this person has, and why he needs them.

I’d also like to know who the hell thought up the mounting position for the gauges because putting them on the far side of the center console makes it difficult for the driver to see.

The rats next of wires is unacceptable, even in a purpose built race car.

The labels are fine, the decals are not my thing but they’re fine as well.

It just appears that the interior was done in the fastest possible way and it reflects in how organized it looks and how organized it is…

For a shop car, it’s sloppy, and the interior is poorly executed…

If i had the financial backing and resources, mine would be alot different…

So bob, you are saying to make this interior “clean” you would angle the gauges towards the driver and cable tie some of the wires so they are neat … and then it would be a clean interior?

… kinda nit pickey, … i see it as functionality.

I’m only suggesting those as part of a few things I would change.

Not to mention that saftey kill switch should be on the outside of the car…

If i had more pictures of the interior i would find more wrong…

The point is that car isn’t supposed to look like that… it’s clearly a rush job, maybe to get it in that event.

I’d be surprised if it stays like that…

I agree with bob on the sloppy interior.

The exterior looks good, the rear of the exterior looks good, its just that  
all of the gauges, switches, electronics and wiring are just slapped in and  
don’t look like much effort was made to keep it clean.

That being said, cars are always a work in progress, so I am sure they’ll  
clean it up.

I believe the kill switch should be both on the outside and the inside.

One for the safety crew and one for the driver.

It does look messy on the inside, but if it works, it works.

I love t3h int3rcoolz0r.
