The center dash is looking good. What will be the final finish?
I like the center dash of older models since they allow the kind of work you have done. The integrated type of newer ones limit a lot the creativity.
Good job!

Re: My new to me 65
Thank you Esteban, I'm debating on leaving it as a brushed finish or painting it flat black. I dinged the oil gauge just before i put it in. 
Later on I will replace the entire dash with aluminum all the way across.

Re: My new to me 65
Hi Alex-
It was cool chatting with you on the phone last weekend-
I'm totally jealous that you get to take yours out and drive it for a few hours every weekend- I've got several months of wrenching to knock out before I'll be in that category

Re: My new to me 65
don't be you will be there shortly, it's nice knowing where my temps are at now that the gauges are in. And now that the radio is in it's so much nicer to cruise around in the dirt. Ice chest in the back party in the front

Re: My new to me 65
She's coming along great I'm going to be changing over to the hei next weekend. I take her out and put about 75 miles out in the desert. All new brake lines, wheel cylinders oil change and tune up and she's running great
