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.

Very nice!   :2thumbs:  Did you hand fabricate the dash yourself or buy from a vendor?

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

Looks great!  Better layout than XV's copy.

I'd paint it however texture black for the ultimate stealth look (and OEM look).

It's beautiful!  I wish someone would offer the RM style panels again.
