how hard was rebuilding the gauge cluster?

 

[jensens ag]

Well you start with soap and water then use model paint and repair the wood grain if its damaged ( works like body filler ) then make sure you have a exacto knife and spray paint the wood grain. After you have it taped off. When that is good and dry you cover up the brown and the rest of the chrome and spray rest black. Using a clear sealer when your done is optional. O yea i for got to tell ya to use a die grinder to remove the plastic that holds the glass on the back,they will get re glued back on later. And use Q-Tips and clean the gauges. The plastic ( glass ) can then be cleaned with plastic head light cleaner and your die grinder with polishing wheel, Slow Speed,
