Similar to a couple of the earlier pics in this thread.

I put VDO gauges in the ashtray hole back in the late 1970s. I later updated to these oil pressure and volt gauges from an old Audi GT or 4000 CS Quattro (can't remember for sure). I like these because the faces were a better match with the original silver dots.





BTW, the "engine start" button is a heavy-duty Cole-Hersee switch from Waytek; less than $13. IIRC, it fits in the lighter hole pretty much without modification. Tied directly to a Ford-type starter relay, car starts more reliably now than when new.


Very nice! Could you tell me where you got your tan baskerweave material for the dash?

i have a vague recollection- that’s of course one of the sweeetest interiors of all time, Bob! i thought about doing my lower dash area in the plaid like m seats too. it definitely works well in your car. i still would like a set of seats with more side support and a head rest that touches my head not my neck! if i get hit like Clay did my head will go thru the rear window! stock seats are too short.

Thanks! That material came from an inner door panel I salvaged from a wreck back in the 70s.
