Jumped around a little and am working on the interior and dash layout. The dash will have AutoMeter ultralite gauges. There will be a speedometer, voltmeter, fuel gauge, water temp, boost, pyrometer (exhaust temp), and oil pressure. It was a handful to stuff in the dash but having the radio in the center console will help add some room.

I started out with a later model dash (74) so I could use the dash lights because I like them and trying to cut holes for them in my existing dash would be a pain. The dash is laid out now with a speaker grille on each end. The ash tray was removed and the glove box brought inboard. The radio hole was deleted as was the original speedometer hole. A bit of work with some filler metal and the welder got it all fixed back up. Finishing touches were done with the hole saw, deburring tool, and flap disc. The blinker indicator and high beam LED's are on order- that is about the only thing left to do.

I am at a cross roads with the ARB switches and accessory switches. Not sure of where to locate them. I want to be able to reach them while strapped in. Got to give that some thought. Any input is welcomed.


Since I had the cutting wheels and all out, I modified the newer grille to replicate the original 67 grille turn signals. This grille was in better shape and the turn signal mod takes time, but isn't very hard once things are this far apart. I did use the welder and dremel to fill the holes in the grille left by the original blinker housings.
