New build (hopefully!!!)

So in doing some more testing, I ran into a problem. If my arms are comfortable on the wheel, my seat is too close to the pedals. If my seat is at a comfortable distance from the pedals, I have to lean forward to grab the wheel. Really struggling trying to find a solution so didn't get anything else accomplished tonight. Going to be digging through the forums to see if anyone else has had a similar problem and how they solved it.

So frustrating as I was really feeling like things were coming together for me.

You are going to have to pull that dash forward about a foot or more.  Check out my build log (which I should really update) and note the crazy overhang that everyone worries about.  That was so the wheel was far enough forward.

I spent about 2 hours tonight trying to think of a way to do that without it looking like complete crap.

I would focus on getting it functional first....  You can always go back to cut a new profile later.

Check out the stickied "links to driving cab projects" thread.
Go to the build threads of the ones with homemade dashboards and see how they handled it.

Personally I'd cut the footwell out of that front section and move the whole thing closer to the driver.
(so the persons feet extend into a box behind the screen.  ...or it could just be open)
