    Need Advise to Restore a 65 "wood grain" steering wheel

    ON my '65 Dart GT I recently sold, I had my pinstripe guy do the steering wheel and console in faux burled wood look. Not a show car, but I liked the look.

    Replacement radios

    I put a Retrosound unit in my '65 dart GT. Had to make an additional black filler around the buttons ( to fill small gap on dash face). (not in to mega sound) . It has quality dash and rear deck speakers. You have to look close to see the filler. Works for me.

    That floor bracket is most likely to secure the shifter plate . looks to be the same distance as top of plate. Probably elevated to compensate for padding and carpet. Nice car!

    Mechanical oil pressure gauge 1965 Dart GT

    I used the copper in one of my Sweptline D100's ( way more wiggle room),but I coiled the line at the block ( like a brake line).Never had a leak problem. The way I routed this one to miss all the under dash ac stuff and the ability to drop the ashtray, yes probably better off with the nylon line.

    Mechanical oil pressure gauge 1965 Dart GT

    Not enough clearance for braided the way I had to route the line. Nylon for now but will switch to copper when I find a shorter path.

    Mechanical oil pressure gauge 1965 Dart GT

Gauge fit perfectly in the face of ash tray. 1-3/4 " hole saw and voila....now part of the dash. I have the original ash tray if a future...
