    My 1st E-body Rallye dash resto.. additional pics
    « on: June 08, 2007 - 07:14:57 PM »
    Thought I'd post some pics of my 1st E-body Rallye dash instrument cluster restoration.. It was pretty fun I have to  say. This cluster is for my friend's '71 v-code Challenger R/T. I had made a system for checking the gauges' ohms readings versus needle positions. I used the decal kits from Dave over at Performance Car Graphics. The most daunting task was forming the woodgrain panels.. If I screwed that up, there was no turning back... But, it all worked out and voila !!!!  Have to say I'm happy with the outcome...

    Cheers,

    Is that repop woodgrain?  That looks diff. from the PGCLassics which is way too shiny.

    Yours looks a lot more OEM matte looking.

    Looks great!
