Well, here's the finished instrument cluster!
I think it turned out great, the pic doesn't do it quite justice, but you get the idea.
Painted the needles in a color called Garnet Pearl and the screws and needlebases in Silver fox.

Took her for a little spin on some local roads this weekend, and man she worked! Stiff as hell but it's supposed to be like that!
Got the seatupholstery on the front seats mounted yesterday, and mounted the seats this morning. Man, I love my job solution, working from home!
Some minor details left to do inside and outside.
Next in line is mounting of my CD player and some speakers with retro covers. And this winter, back into the garage for removal of the engine, and a paint and finish job in the enginecompartment.
Here's some pics after the little testdrive...
Later.....
