The whole dash assembly, instrument panel and metal dash frame, will bolt right in on all ‘64, ‘65 & ‘66 Darts. Not sure about sorting out wiring differences but should be manageable.

 

[coalman]

That is very nice to know. Thanks

[coalman]

Yes, it's a Canadian Valiant Signet. Basically the same as the US Dodge Dart

That is what I thought it was, very nice! What does your instrument panel look like? I am looking for some ideas for my 66? Thanks

a cheap and easy upgrade is LED lights in the instrument cluster and a little bit of imagination, like this (not quite as easy but totally "do"able
)

and make one in white from the vinyl sign shop.

a little bit of spray paint

Still ahve to do the speed numbers but I want to polish the lens first.

and going in this car
