I can't remember his name, but wasn't the guy who put the mustang dash in his Tbird?


You might be thinking about Watchdevil.  He did some great work but got mad about something and deleted a bunch of his posts and left.  One was a whole discussion about the buttstuffog tach and pictures of the dash. I know I posted some pictures but can't find them on here.

It was a great discussion...too bad it's gone.

I don't think any of them got it.  Or that steering wheel.

 
The buttstuffog tach has never been seen in person but that steering wheel did come on some cars.

I just happen to have one. :hick:

Anyone care to guess what the 2 items are under the left dash?  I say the hood release, and not sure what the other is.......

That steering wheel was for non-cruise control cars. I have one.

At 4:00 off the steering wheel the control on the left I think had something to do with the premium sound system. Maybe an amplifier on or power antenna control?

The light to the right of the switch you can't read the label on is foglights activated indicator light that's on the switch.

I've never seen an IP with the tach where the clock is. My 83 looks like the 84 brochure.

I actually have the far right dash panel with a beveled cutout in it.
But, the car I got it from was not a turbo and it had a tripminder in the middle and digital clock to the right.
