So I picked up an NOS Offenhauser panel, drilled it for the exterior light and mounting bolts, and slapped it in instead. It’s much cleaner looking:
Never really coming up with an exact answer as to the purpose of the two vertical plugs in the dash to the left of the glovebox door, I finally came up with a solution for putting them to good use. They now hold two USMC emblems. The upper is for the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Vietnam (the unit in which I served). And the lower is a laser engraved EGA with a beautiful clear coat over it (which doesn’t show up in the photo). It is really a beautiful piece.
OoohRah!!
looks great.
