Re: 1974 C20 Soon to become a project...

Well, it's been a month and a half. In that time, there has been a death in the family, serious injuries, serious illnesses, a failed transmission int he '04 Regal replacement vehicle while the truck was off the road... and a host of other issues most people experience over 5-10 years.

The Black on Black Carbon Fiber was not coming out like I wanted. After three attempts, the decision was made to go with Red. I can still go either Black or Red on the truck, so it wasn't a total game changer. It turned out amazing; better than I thought it might. The Bezel has so many compound surfaces, dipping it is not for the faint of heart.

The guys work is really nice and the price is killer... let's just say I didn't pay over $100 for the entire job. I really needed this to be as nice as it is... It was a great lift to the spirits and encouragement to keep going forward.

I have to re-anchor the two center holders for the Speedo and Tach, once I find a better method/product. The gauges are in and everything is ready for the final wiring harness install... hopefully getting started next week... but the way things have been going, who really knows. At least I can sit back and admire the Dash Bezel.
