picked up a 68, had a pretty rough rear that was " fixed " prior.  Started pulling it apart to redo.

the gauges are auto meter super comps, the 5" tach and speedo I painted the rings and set in from the front.  The 2 1/16 gauges are set in from the back after I ground down the angled bezel.

I should just pay you to do my cluster guage and what not..damn that looks nice..

I looked through every forum on many sites and many google searches and couldn't find a good idea for speaker mounting points.  Included in the pic above I made my own out of my kick panels.  I think they are turning out pretty nice for my first try.  Original kick panel ( not nice panels, don't kill me) mdf rings covered in cloth and hardener.  Going to finalize with bondo to smooth out.
