How did you do the chrome around the guage pods?
Brian, it's a reproduction dash. It's completely chromed under the paint like original. The problem with it is the 4 small pods around the speedo, turn indicator, etc. were chrome like the gauge pods. I painted over those. The other problem is the lettering for the wiper/washer and lighter were not chrome, they painted over those. So I removed the paint on the letters to expose the chrome. After fixing those 2 things the only thing that is different is the lettering. The font is a little different and they're not as deep. Nothing you would really notice unless you were looking for it. All and all for a reproduction part it's decent, not exact but pretty good.
