No sorry I don't. I've got some tricky ideas up my sleeve for the dash but I haven't gotten that far yet. It's nothing special right now.

Rooster, I've got to finish making the brackets for this rear bumper I made. Then I'm going to try and finish up the interior.

Gastrick, that rod is just too cool for words. 
Wish my 32' had looked like that. I just got sick and tired of cleaning it. It was "glass" too. Body was from JRS in N. Caroline.

And your point IS WHAT?
There is no difference in driving this rig over a vette.
And least to say, any new car or mini-van built in todays world.
Everything is plastic today. Fiber alloy materials, lite-weight, and all will fold up real fast in a head on crash.
Glass is quick and cheap compaired to the barebones, $20K Brooksville roadsters. Its a shame so many people will trash someone for driving a glass rod over real tin. Not everyone is so fortunate in having the real tin available.
Hell the friggen Corvette is one of the most saught after glass rods in the world. Followed by the more expensive Cobra, Lambegieni, and so on.
WHO CARES!
A cool ride is a cool ride. What really sucks, is those who have tin, and then go the cheap on glass for fenders and such, instead if spending the $300+ per fender and rear deck lides and so forth. Hell, if you are gonna smoke someone for having glass ove tin, best make it all tin and not mix it together.
Just my .02 worth on this subject.

well i agree w/ya bonehead, the gastrick coupe is almost like my RRR mascot-(the bonehead truck is hand-in-hand w/it, too)
i don't guess i even knew it was fiberglass--and it really doesn't matter to me, b/c a nice car is a nice car regardless......
maybe ol' gastrick will see this resurected thread and give it a proper update--hemi and all!

Thanks fellas. You're correct bonehead, the old photos are outdated a little bit. For the folks that didn't know my coupe was plastic, sorry about that. I don't try to hide it or mislead, I guess I just hadn't mentioned it lately.
Here are some updated photos:
