Dash Panel is finally done, restored & ready to reinstall once the rest of the interior is ready to receive it. Did all of this work in the basement which worked out much better than the garage.
So big picture, on the Center Dash section major changes. Rocketman (Bob) calibrated my gauges & converted the Amp meter to voltmeter. I replaced my old radio with a RetroSound unit that looks great, how it performs I'm looking forward to hearing yet. Thanking "73QCodeMach1F" for her project thread posting detailing her system upgrade. The close to factory look & audio she played in the post really convinced me to go this route. The new Classic Auto Air controls are installed and while not original, I'm pleased with how it looks and fits perfectly. All of the dash lights have been replaced with LEDs from Bill at HiPo Parts.
On the Instrument Cluster, repainted the Aluminum color on the inside of the Tach/Speedo/Fuel gauges to freshen up. Repainted the florescent red on the needles. Replaced the cluster ribbon & IVR so everything is fresh. It's really satisfying to see it done and I so appreciate you members for your posts & help.
