The electric blue looks amazing. Excellent choice of color.
The alu-tubing roll bar looks great.

I made a custom dash, the gauge trim rings are made from thin wire.
But I still have to add the bolt heads to the steering wheel

Wow, very impressive dashboard.
You could attach a 100$ bill, to the dash. I'm sure you've heard the story about how Caroll Shelby stuck a 100$ bill to the dash, when he was driving with reporters in the 427 Cobra. The 100$ was theirs, if they could get it. When ever they tried to get it, he would hit the accelerator and they would be thrown back in the seat. As far as the story goes, he never lost that 100$.
