74 Duster Dash light swap.

Hmmm, thanks for the links!

I have not gone to the point of replacing the wood-grain on the outside. I actually sand blasted my outer plastic bezel part, being really careful and simply stripped everything off the plastic, then painted it gloss black. The refurb was mostly an experiment as my dash was looking all crappy and I had a few hours to kill..

I think a bead blaster to strip it, a little masking, paint it with aluminum spray paint in appropriate locations, black in the others, then a replacement woodgrain cover and the white face gauges would really look great..

I cant find the woodgrain sticker covers as of yet..

Those are pretty detailed instructions 2darts..

If one could, remove the steering wheel as well.. It was totally pissing me off the other day. You really want the steering column down really far, maybe pull it down and put something between the mounts and the column like a block of wood.. When you are pulling down on the column, i think the bolts on the firewall where the column goes thru the firewall should be loose or removed as well, cause when I was pulling my column down it was mildly bending (tweaking) the column tube as the firewall bolts were still tight. This restricted the amount I could lower it, causing me some grief as it was not low (out of the way) enough..
