So, what should I do from here?

Hey everybody. Hope all is well out in truck land. So, here's the deal. I'm replacing the dash pad on the ol Green Beast and I've removed the gauge cluster. What would you all do before you put it back in place? The face of the panel could use a touch up and there's a lot of dust, dirt, and a few gauges that may not work properly. Is there a way to put some power to the gauge itself to see if they are operable? I see that the windshield wiper motor is back behind the cluster. Has anyone had any luck putting in a motor with delay capabilities? Other than that, I just thought I'd get some opinions since I have it out, I might want to do a few things before putting it all back and having to fix something else later. I love these trucks and how easy they are to work on. This is a tedious little project, swapping out this dash pad. I've posted a couple of pictures for viewing pleasure. Thanks for reading.
