Since I am not looking for a show quality shine I just used flat black from a can, after the car is fully finished I will get the whole car repainted flat black.

Did a little more work today, made a new gauge cluster for the dash

Also went ahead and wired most of the gauges up, just have to still wire tach, speedo and senders, I think they look pretty sick

Looks good man. I want to do the gauges like that. I've always liked that look better than the stock gauges.

I will only be using 2 gauges while racing, the rest are for when I drive to cruises, lol. Still have to make it somewhat of a "street car"
