Yeah, for me it's not art work, it's the AARP version of the spider wiring diagram!

Beautiful work! The dash is stunning. I don't know if i could ever get used to looking into a rearview mirror on the dash. Your daughter must feel like a million buck driving that.

The only problem with the rear view mirror is it vibrates a lot. When you look in it, it looks like there are dozens of cars behind you. The mirror looks cool though, and is from a MGB. I wanted to capture an early sixtys look.

I got them from Mark Allison, owner of this forum!. He sells them for the front of spiders that are being run bumperless. I bought two pair, and he found a pair of clear lenses for me. the brake lights are red led bulbs used with the clear lenses. It was a LOT of work modifying them to fit the angles of the rear, which had to be welded closed with sheet metal to start with. Not sure I'd ever go this route again as it was very labor intensive for a small gain in looks. Still, I love the look!
