dash and underhood portions of the gauges are done! gotta drop the diff, install the temp sender, and string one more wire, then all the gauges will be complete.

Nice to see some progress.

I imagine I'll be wandering down a similar path with the '83 eventually myself.

You think you'll be running come this summer?

its a cheap APC wheel i grabbed off ebay; hence no center button :hick:
i wanted a non-cruise TC wheel, but that didnt work out; twice. so i fell back to old thoughts of a D-shaped wheel, and decided to go for it. im sure its a knock-off of a grant or momo or sumthin.....

why would i want to look at the shifter to see my gauges?



i made the lower gauge panel larger than my current needs demand so i would not hafta go back and make another panel later. the extra space will be used for any other instrumentation and control switches i may need later on.

Judging by his paint, I'd venture he doesn't need to worry about where gauges are at...
