If you just need correct vinyl material, a friend of mine just found a supplier in California that has the correct metallic white vinyl he needs for his 300 for less than half the cost that SMS wanted. J&J Auto Fabrics.

I recommend that you don't wait for your ammeter to fail to bypass it. Could start a fire inside your dashboard. You don't necessarily need to completely remove the front seat from the car. For my car that has a bench, I unbolt it, lift the studs out of the holes in the floor, and move back into...

The ones I bought are dimmable. I don't think they dim as linearly as incandescent bulbs as you turn the knob. I changed out almost every bulb in the dashboard with LEDs at the same time, including heater controls, radio and clock, so you don't really notice because there's nothing to compare...

I remove the front seat before working under the dash now. Much easier to work under the dash and you can drop the column further to get it out of the way. Obviously this is easier if you have bucket seats. IIRC, you need to remove the center ashtray to access some things. (Try not removing it...

But his steering wheel itself is not upside-down. The orientation of the spokes is good.

Looks good. I hope this isn't a lot of work to correct, but the Plymouth emblem is upside down.

At first I thought you were making a joking analogy to our C-bodies, but then I read the product description and you actually did mean DINOSAURS! :D

@CudaChick1968 can do powder on potmetal.

I stumbled across the following website product page and thought of this thread. It may be another option. The seller specializes in Buick GN parts but looks like he could do anything if you had the dimensions for him to cut out the material. Either black anodized aluminum with laser-etching to...

Thanks! I don't actually know the brand of voltmeter. I bought it used at a swapmeet for this project. I think just about any 2-1/8" face, air-core voltmeter with a 90-degree sweep should work. Just make sure it has a tweaker knob to calibrate the reading. I think they all do, usually a small...

What a coincidence, I was talking with my brother just today. He was interested in using an Arduino to make a car-puter to display digital gauges in his NYer. I recommended a Raspberry Pi instead. It should have enough horsepower to also act as an MP3 player for a hidden stereo system. You gauge...

Replacing the ammeter with a voltmeter is a fun DIY project. This FB photo album is public so anyone should be able to see it. If not I will repost the photos and instructions here. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10156625161129460&type=3

Speedhut gauges used. About $700 US just in the gauges, not including any custom programming of the gauges or labour to rework the cluster itself.

My two-front-speaker solution was an experiment. On the adapter plate that I made, I also added a plastic divider between the two speakers that extended up to the speaker grille. I was hoping to make the sound from each speaker more directional, so it would sound like true stereo even though...

I installed a Retrosound Redondo and I'm very pleased with it. I can't remember what I paid, but I got it from Amazon at well below list price. I'm using my factory bezel and knobs, so it looks 100% factory until it's turned on, which was a personal requirement. I fitted a pair of small...

As @cbarge said, the 2-door hardtop carpet will work fine. If anything, you'll just trim more away from the rear section because of the side panels which cover the top mechanism. I bought a carpet years ago (from Trim Parts I think) for my 2-door hardtop and it came-up short in the front under...

When I was adding sound insulation the floorpan of my Windsor, I had a lot leftover so I cut replacements for the plastic sheet out of that. It's like plastic bubble wrap sandwiched between thin layers of aluminum foil on the outside. it should protect the door panels as well as the original...

Yep, as @D Cluley said, install the back first, then the front overlaps it. There is not much overlap, so be careful that you don't pull the front section too far forward while fitting and wind-up with a gap. Fit both sections from the center hump outwards. Do not fit the door sill areas until...

I installed the lower seat side fillers and the seat bottom to see how it all fit. The side fillers are wedged in very tight between the body panels and the seat bottom. With me sitting in the seat and moving around, the side fillers did not move at all. I don't believe these brackets are really...
