Re: What color interior?

Tan or gray. Here is a thread on my low cost tan interior for my 83, including some homemade extras:

Re: What color interior?

I had around 900-1000 bucks in the project, I opt'ed for the more expensive gauges, their the ultra-Lite II's they have LED backlighting and look amazing at night. but I had to special order the 2 5/8 gauges for the right sizes. That price includes the bezel, painless wiring kit, and sending units.

It's well worth it, I have a few pics I can post of them at nighttime if you wanna see the difference between the gauges.

Re: What color interior?

The alumnium bezel and dash insert are from LMC, you'll have to cut the holes out about an 1/8-1/4 inch or so... I just used a die-grinder with a carbide tip to massage it all out, but if you have access to a machine shop, they can cut them out real quick, and alot safer as well.

All the gauges mount to this piece too, they have a rear support clamp that tightens them in place.

Here's a day/night pic of the gauges.

Re: What color interior?

Think I'm doing mine gray and black. Still trying to decide on black or gray carpet and headliner, whether they should match, or be the opposite.
