I hate making threads like that.. i feel like a moron.. but i have to ask **** to learn.. surprised no one knew bout the radius issue on the pinion, i found one post bout it from a long time ago.. super uncommon
 
@WV64Signet: maybe not the best picture but I used the DMT carbon fiber overlays too. Other than the faded needle, I’m happy with how it all turned out.

I did rub out my drivers quarter and am super happy with it.. much better than i expected... everything from bout 10" up from the bottom is original 1962 paint. can't wait to do the rest of the car now.. Not a great pic.. looks good in person..

And the main thing on my dash is the chrome worn off around the edges.. i can live with it though

That's where I'm interested in a contrasting color. I love the old pushbutton dash looks

I’m right there with ya! I don’t like the faux wood grain and this was an option out there that seemed worth looking into. Painting the silver trim was very tedious and far from perfect but much better than what I started with! Now if I could get the rest of the car going!!

Nice.

Wolfie sent me his original cluster and gauges, so I'm going to build a new cluster with the color changes I think. I have the matching OER pushbutton panel as well, so it'll be very cool.

Probably go LED dash lights.... Wish someone repopped the radio bezel..

Ever seen this pushbutton delete radio? I can't find any reference to it in the materials I have.

Remember the LED's aren't dimable and are crazy bright... i went with normal bulbs
 
I'm using a old round back alternator, when i have my lights on everything auto dims and brightens non stop :)

Easy enough to switch, but good point. Maybe not white?

I put stupid LED headlights bulbs in my small truck. I piss people off, but for night driving out here in the boonies, I love it. I can see everything
