The instrument cluster
has been removed from the dash -- 65,586 miles to date. |
Here's
what they look like from behind.
|
The empty instrument cluster
prior
to cleanup and paint. |
The backing plates following
glass-blasting and paint.
|
The painted instrument cluster
waiting for gauges. |
New instrument cluster mounting
hardware.
|
 |
After the instrument
cluster was pulled, we got a good look at the main wiring harness. All
harnesses throughout the car are being replaced. |
New 6,500 redline tach face...the
old one
was starting to rust around the screw holes. |
New Temp gauge and Fuel gauges.
|
|
All new lens for
the small gauges,
the tach and the speedo. |
Oil Pressure and Battery gauges. |
New headlight switch. |
Ready for re-assembly.
Lots of parts, no? |
Finally, a fully restored
cluster. |
Radio and heater dash
indicators. |
|
This
photo of the dash (laying on the floor of the garage) was taken from a
ladder. The dash was far easier to remove than anticipated. |
|
|
Here it is leaning
against the overhead door. Some cleaning and painting is all that's
required. |
|
A little Krylon Semi-Flat
black spray paint
and the dash is as good as new. |
New hardware to mount the dash.
|
The new radio bezel. |
The clock in pieces.
|
New speaker with proper transformer. |
Here, the instrument cluster is
hanging on five long threaded rods to allow for temporary clearance
behind. This make attaching the myriad of wires, lights and connectors
much easier.
|
Various knobs - heater, wipers, radio, etc.. |
The rehabilitation of the
glovebox door.
New brushed aluminum and emblem.
Fresh Krylon Semi-Flat paint.
|
The dash is close to completion.
We're waiting on the new clock. |
