Did you have to put a new switch in the dash? I don't understand how you get the holo part to light without having the whole light fully lit. Does the holo come on when you turn on the parking lights? Very cool look.

Some minor updates.  I picked up a flaming river tilt column and new steering wheel, ordering a new dashpad momentarily, F.A.S.T. ez efi is arriving on monday, painless wiring came yesterday.  Also ordered new gauges, bought a lexus black leather rear seat, and pontiac g8 leather front buckets.  All the mods will be done in the next month or so.  Also bought some TTI polished ceramic coated headers.

Bought this rocky mountain gauge cluster from Carlwaski over the winter.  I did a little sanding to it.  more work  is needed but this is how it looks right now..

Any way to  install that cluster with the dash pad installed? Seems like you'll have to pull the pad to get it in.

Making slow but sure progress on my interior.  Just finished install of new dash, gauge cluster, steering column, steering wheel, and gauges.  Just scratching the surface but its a start i guess.  thoughts and  comments welcome.

Thanks.  The seats are out of a pontiac g8, and they are going in this weekend.
