Id like to thank @marksmopar1 for the tach base plate, I was finally able to polish that over the past couple weeks, came out nice:

Id also like to thank @FastMopar71 for selling me the 4 speed console that already had the holes for the console tach! I was able to paint the console base, got the top plates painted and polished and everything installed! I was able to use the ash tray assembly from the automatic console I had and had to fabricate brackets that would mount off of the shift boot mounting holes since the studs for mounting the front side of the ash tray assembly were broken off. all and all it turned out well!!

I still need to check to make sure the tach will function, pretty up the wiring, new shift boots and install the console brackets before I go about mounting this in the car. I did find an old in dash ash tray laying around and stole the cigar lighter out of that. I installed the cigar lighter in the ash tray so I have a place in the console to charge a phone or a GPS.
Still slowly getting small things done here and there before I have to finish getting the big ticket items. Namely that power steering pump alignment issue. But after that hopefully I have enough saved up for the exhaust and rear end!! then maybe see if I can get some street run time on it!!
