Dash is in and letters on

[ram250098]

I was after a cracked up rallye dash that I could butcher without feeling guilty LOL. I loaded it with some Auto Meter Ultra Lites and thought I would post a pic if anyone else has an idea to go the same route.

Not bad,I did the same thing last year but I hand sanded all the wood grain smooth and painted the cluster gray then I extended the gauge clusters holes and then mounted Autometer sport comp gauges..If I ever remember to get a new batt for my Camera I'll post some pic's.

Two pic's I found on the net awhile ago,thought every one might want to have a look.

That second pic there sundance looks amazing, nice interior REALLY nice.
My old linear dash was toast, nothing worked which is why I opted for the rallye swap. I found a cut dash for $50 and had bought all the gauges for under $200 brand new..couldn't go wrong. I had done quite abit to it over the winter, and now I am done till next winter, if I still have it LOL.

Here'e one I just finished--started with junk ralley that had radio cut out. Mounted radio and relocated light and wiper switches to metal dash frame. Made a clay mold of small pod did a resin casting and mounted it in old light/ wiper switch locations. used filler primer and wet sanded to get rid of alot of the wood grain. Rewired entire dash- can now be removed without disconnecting radio or light and wiper switches-- installed "GLOW-SHIFT" fuel, water temp., oil pres., tach. and spedo.

Awesome!!! I love modern updates on older cars... especially when they are done very well like these, so it looks like it could have been original.

Good job guys...

I work with E.L. and have been planning to convert my 68 Charger dash to being back-lit with E.L. like my 06 Charger for a very long time... still one of my "to do" items.

Thanks for the interest. Here are a few night shots--a little blurred but you get the idea
