I did something similar with my 64. I had a piece of tin covering the old bezel because it was so thrashed. I recently cut the entire center out of it and fiberglassed a new center into it. I then used a textured paint and cut holes for my autometer gauges. I've still got to purchase a tach and speedo to finish it off. I'll start a new post with pics. I don't want to hijack yours.
