68 GT convertible project
I bought an odometer reface kit from Whitegauges.net. They didn't list a reface kit for a 68 Dart so I bought one for a standard E-body dash. The size of the overlays was correct but the Dart's odometer rotates in the opposite direction. The odometer would have been showing less and less miles. They then sent me an E-body Rallye dash kit as well as a B-body Rallye dash kit to try. The E-body kit worked perfectly.

I stripped the paint off of the gauge faces and painted them white. Then I installed a white reface kit. I'm still not sold on this look. This might just be temporary.
Here is the back side of the oil pressure gauge.
The dash frame had a rusty section on the lower right side.
I cut out the bad section and made a patch. I don't have the capability to weld in the patch so I'm off to my father-in-law's house this afternoon for him to help me with it.
