With that said, I've accumulated many more NOS parts that I have not listed (I will soon), as well as have begun physical work on smaller parts.

The first update I'm referencing here is the update to my dash cluster. I purchased an NOS (service stock) woodgrain bezel and needed to install it on my speedwarning cluster.

I was very nervous about drilling through the NOS woodgrain applique, but all ended well.

The other upgrade to this cluster was the addition of an absolutely perfect tach/vacuum lens (looks NOS), and an NOS vacuum gauge. The only gauge not NOS on this cluster is the speedwarning. The speedwarning cluster head has nice clean lettering, numbers, needles, and works perfectly.
