Here are some pics of the restored dash pieces.
I'm going to reassemble the center dash A/C vent as outlined in another resto thread I created. It is an original non A/C car, maybe A/C is in the plans "someday" so I have the pad, vents & stuff just in case.

Looks like he done a good job. :2thumbs:  Not that it matters, but how was the back of the bezels finished? :popcrn:

In my book, good parts look good from the front, great parts look good from all sides.

The backsides are chrome plated. In case you're wondering, original parts weren't "mint" on the backsides, either.
In my book, I would much prefer these than Chinese repops.

That is awesome to know Bill as there are so few of these places left and your endorsement carries some weight IMO. :cheers:

Absolutely like he said! :2thumbs:

I just may do that. There are a few threads floating around out there, maybe I'll just combine them into one thread also.  :cheers:

Looks great Bill!

But I have to ask, why not freshen up the gauges?  :stirthepot:

I wish it was in the budget.
Actually, they really aren't that bad with the exception of the speedo. Perhaps that will be the project for next winter!  :yesnod:
