Hello fellow FBBO members. I am building a custom dash for my 69 Coronet 440 and have been acquiring the dash pads to convert into a rally dash to gain the room for decent size round gauges and modern switches. I'm in the process of cutting the 14 gauge plate to fit the areas now and starting to look for modern switches to replace the ones OEM. Aesthetics mean a lot to me and finding all of them at one place that look good, are functional as needed and match each other is getting to be a pain. The dash "plates" will be covered in carbon fiber vinyl with Autometer gauges and now looking for the rheostat type for dimming panel and on/off for interior plus the headlights...parking / headlight and windshield wiper/ squirter. You get the idea...., where to go? With all the restoration builds I see and customizing for a more retro style that I see on this site, I am sure someone else has already been down this path. Can you give me some ideas of sites to go to so I can get modern equipment that matches each other and doesn't look out of place in a car? Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts.
