I used an old dash bezel and cut some sheet alluminum to fit, drilled holes for the guages, clearanced the plastic so they would fit flush. I bought led lights for the high beams and turn signals. The guages are dolphin brand, shark edition(better guages). They arent autometers but fit my budget, they work real well for what i need. Then i took the door pannel strips with the leather pull strap and traced them on the alluminum sheet and self tapered them to the door pannel, no more leather pull strap tho. After i took the pic i noticed the uneven bottom edge and resanded it smooth, didnt take another pic tho. I took the dash pad and sanded all the cracks, i bought speaker box felt and spray tacked it on and pulled it tight. Doesnt look bad at all and was real cheap. The seat is from a custom 3+3 with a nice fold down console with cup holders. Also put in a new black carpet and repainted everything with krylon black fusion paint for plastic. here are the pics, the 3rd pic is the seat but isnt real good so its older since its raining here(also b4 i did all the work) . Ill get a better one of the dash and the seat when it stops. The wiring was also gone thru and fixed all up to make it look alot cleaner.
