Very nice! don't forget those stretching exercises and maybe some muscle relaxants for all the different contortions you put your back through.Keep up the good work

Let me guess...Could it be a Nitrous Oxide Booster? Or perhaps an ejection seat for unruly passengers? Maybe to flip the gate down at the secret entrance to the batcave.

Cool! i also have taken pains to maintain the original cluster gauges instead of the idiot lights but couldn't figure out how to hook up the volt meter. does yours work and how did you hook it up? do you need a matching dash harness? furthermore, are your clusters in nice shape with no gunk on the dayglow orange and green in which case did you get lucky or can someone clean them up? also, i think nova clusters work but yours and mine came from either our vans or step vans/bread trucks?

Funny, I never did get that switch to work but I think it was for the hazard lights.

Yeah, I got lucky everything worked just had to take apart everything and clean the heck out of it. white out worked great to bring the letters back to life!
