My dash is fairly toasted and beyond renewal, so I thought. How does one re
veneer the dash? Kevin, could you give out the steps or does someone already
written up somewhere.
I assume you plane the face of the dash, then overlay with ??? using a ???
adhesive, clamp, trim, sand, finish.
Aside from this route and staying away from a $250 new dash anyone have great
results producing their own? templates available?

Hello gang,
While Freddy is in pieces I am redoing a few things in the interior. I am
going to re-veneer the dash, and while I am at it get rid of a those ugly
new style warning lights for the simple old style round red ones, and I
want to move my oil pressure gauge up into the dash itself. I figure I will
put it in the left side round opening in the metal support that I think is
where GT6's have their eyeball vents. While I am at it I would like to put
a clock in the corresponding hole on the right side. Anyone have (or know
of a source for) a clock that will be a reasonable match for the stock
Smiths gauges? I don't want to spend an utter fortune to do this - I think
worst case a VDO clock from a Volvo would be a reasonable cheap match.
TIA,
Kevin Rhodes
