Standard To Rallye Dash

Jesse Martin said
Yeah I wanted to keep the flat gauge look but it was just too splotchy, the tire shine made it look much more uniform. On the new bezel it is very good along the pad but the two original bezels I have are also just as straight, the warpage that I experienced was around where it's supposed to go above the left trun signal indicator. For the turn signal lenses I used CA glue but the bezel I removed the lense from used the melted plastic like the gauge leses the new bezel had no such thing.

That is a project that takes some guts to pursue, and a fair amount of patience ,measuring, and pattern making. I have done 3 of those conversions now with the standard dash frame, it's just steel right ? It does get easier. Only dupli-color flat black seems to work paint wise, SEM flat black used to be great, EPA got to them too I guess. Instead of epoxies or melted plastics I use 3M brand clear RTV for flexibility, rough roads etc. Just suggestions/ideas. Good common sense on your wiring too. Great job!
