that A-Body dash looks FANTASTIC I have a complete set of brand new Autometer Ultralight Pentastar gauges that I bought (it took 5 years to piece it all together because Mopar Performance discontinued them many years ago)planning on doing exactly the same..I recently got a restored Instrument Cluster and I'm thinking about parting ways with the whole setup I have now. Since Rocky Mountain gauge works went out of business, I dont have an economical way to do exactly what the above dash looks like.

those are actually vinyl stickers. Usually in a mall near you, there are those little kiosks that they will make stickers for your windshield or that type of thing. I asked them to make it with Lime green. I think the whole thing cost me like $15 for lettering
what does the "dixie" switch do?

Thanks guys.
I cannot take credit for the paint, guy that painted the Dart did the dash as well. It is base/clear. I did the prep and metal work, smoothing, epoxied the insert in, etc. He primed, blocked, and painted.
The panel is bent. It is a RMD insert that was one of the first they made. I've had it for *years*.
I'll see if I can come up with some progress pics that I took of it years ago.

Man these pics are old... lol. These frames were not meant for a gloss black paint job, so I needed to straighten it.
