Great job. I did the same thing 2 years ago when I needed a throttle mount for my little cat project. Carved up some cheap foam I got from HD then just glassed over it, I used epoxy so it didn't eat at the foam. The carbon fiber is in with epoxy as well. Then I just hogged out as much foam as I could then dumped acetone in to clean out the rest.

Thanks Rangerrick63, OSO is full of info this is my first glass job and if not for the help from the pro's here I wouldn't have attempted it. I got the aluminum panels cut out today and did some bondo and sanding need a little more and it will be ready for paint, I sent all the gauges I bought on e-bay to Livorsi and had the rims changed to polished stainless and have them all tested before the install. I will be using the mustard bezels to accent the stainless rims. By the way I had a 28zx and loved it, it had a blown 502 and 700 hp. More pic later. VV

Finally found the time to finish my gauge pod and Livorsi Monster gauge swap, I also changed the switches to black to match the black gauges. Now all that is left is the install back in the Velocity 320.
