A few interior pieces i made for mine
Center console i made from sheet metal. Hand bent, welded all together and finished and painted. Has a acc. outlet and both window switches and a trap door inside to access the wiring. Switch panel is 6061 aluminum i made and drew up. Buddy of mine painted it for me.
Made a custom fuse/relay center to run all aftermarket items up under the dash where the fresh air inlet door used to be. All relays and switches are seperately fused to avoid any problems.
Kind of a bad pic but took my original cluster and cut the entire guts out to leave the frame and made this aluminum piece and used all factory holes to mount it up.

Thanks guys. It actually didnt take real long to make any of the pieces. A little focus and the wife leaving me alone for a while makes it easy!! LOL

Re: A few interior pieces i made for mine
I really love how the console came out! I am going to do the same with mine, sheet metal and paint black. It will be a nicer and cheaper method than hunting down a center console. Very nice car, can't believe how great it looks! By the way, where did you get those gauges? Thinking of doing the same with mine, sheet metal and using new aftermarket gauges. What was the difficulty for wiring them?

They are autometer ultra lite 2 1/16 and 5in dash tach. I made my own wiring harness for all the lights and fuel level and volts. I did it so only a power and ground come out the back of it and 1 connector for the fuel level. Everything is attached to the back of the aluminum panel i made.All the gauges are on a switch from my fuse/relay board.
