Not much, I have MANY hours into this project! Its finally ready for primer Ill be doing that tomorrow. After all of this the deck lid piece wont work with what Ive done with the trunk. When I started and fitted everything it all worked. But I modded the way the insert fits into the trunk. I raised the line all the way up to the trunk seal to give it a more fiished look. Well this didnt work to well with the deck lid part. Ill be making a new piece because the insert turned out very well, shouldnt take as long. Ill post pics soon.

Update! Finally getting things going! The tub is now in primer and Im giving it a few days to shrink before I shoot it.
While its drying I started the rest of the project. Now you know why I made the gauge console that fits in the upper clock area. I need the one below for something else!! Heres a couple pics of it in primer and some of the cables Ive extended so far.

Ok dash parts are painted and I FINALLY just got done extending ALL the wires for the Xbox man what a PAIN in the ****! I still have to cut and buff all the painted parts. Im also painting the armrest console gloss black. Ive added the controller ports in the old ash tray spot. I had to do a bit of fiberglassing so it needed to be painted. I think it will be a nice touch anyway.

Great work, you make me proud 
Just curious was this your first fiberglass work? I have been wanting to attempt it but thought it was too difficult but you make it sound like patience is the key and that it's not all that difficult.
And to answer the question about the 360, as of now no one has been able to mod it. On a modded Xbox the sky is the limit b/c basically it's a mini pc with gaming capabilities. He can store all his games, dvd's, songs, music video's, etc.... directly on the hard drive, can't do that with a 360 yet and who knows how long it will be before you can.

Thanks again for your advice and help. I really wish the longer IDE cable would work but oh well this will do.
Ive been dealing with glass for about seven years. But Ive never done anything like this. I saw it being done on rides and thought hey I can do that. So I gave it a shot. I think its just something you have to jump into. If you cover the area like it should be cover it then all you will loose if you screw up is the money for the glass.
