New Duster dash!!
Hello all! I recently decided to redo my dash. I asked a bunch of people if I should repair my factory dash or upgrade to a new more modern style one. After much debate and a near 50/50 split in opinions I decided to do a combination of both ideas.
I started with the 1967 series gauge set from New Vintage USA. The gauge set came with a backing plate to mount your gauges on but it was plastic and flimsy so I decided to cut my own template out of 1/4 inch plexiglass.
After curing the holes and fitting the gauges in place I added some chrome bezel LEDs as turn signals and a woodgrain textured vinyl decal on top and a leather textured vinyl decal on the bottom with a 1/4 inch piece of auto trim. All of which I got from amazon for maybe $80ish bucks in total!
