It's interesting that he swapped the 83/84 style dash, but kept the marquis cluster. I didn't think they would interchange physically (I always thought the marquis cluster was slightly shorter, guess not). The marquis cluster doesn't have any oil, temp, or turn signal indicators either (those are on a bulb strip above the cluster). Interesting.

I want that car. I'd swap in a newer dash though.

That is pretty cool other than the cheesy exhaust and T-bird horn pad.  I'd rock it!
