I figured I'd post some pix of the interior parts that I've been working on. Got the steering column rebuilt in January and since it got so cold afew weeks ago, I decided to work on the dash and console gauges. I got the white overlays from WhiteGauges.net along with the blue LED bulbs......... figured if I didn't like them, it was only twenty bux wasted !

When I got the overlays in, I wasn't very impressed............ they looked very plain and unimpressive ! Once installed........... THEY LOOK AWESOME !!! Can't wait to see how they'll look with the blue lighting behind them.

Going with mostly a gray interior with black on a number of pieces and a touch of blue in places. The metal pieces have been stripped and I'm putting carbon fiber highlights to accent everything. I'm pleased with the way things are looking so far ! Rick

Craig, I plan on painting the car a medium metallic blue........... over silver............ fading down to the gray belly......... just like the original mako !

Randy, I'm using a carbon fiber vinyl......... overlayed on the metal.......... LOL !!! The vinyl I found on ebay and they claim it will last 10 years ---- we'll see.

Thanx for the support guys. can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can start moving faster on the body work. Rick
