Started on assembling some interior parts to prep for install. These Auto Meter Carbon Fiber Ultra Lites are very clean. Happy with how the cluster turned out. I was even able to do a little custom cutout in between the TACH & SPEEDO for the Fuel pressure gauge. Classic Dash makes a nice kit for these.

Are you going to be fuel injected on the 383?
Is that why the 0-100 psi fuel pressure gauge?

Nice work so far by the way.

Oh are you sure it works with the earlier dash? isn’t the 73/74 slightly different in the window wiper switch area?

You are correct. But, I’m not going back with wipers and the switch. Built a blank for that area and doing no wipers.

I’m having all the body/chassis stuff done at the shop, as I have no room in the garage or certain tools/skills for that work. I’m mainly planning & resourcing parts. Then, once body/panels are back on frame, I’ll have it towed back to the house and start wiring, interior, engine compartment and such.....It’s been fun.

-Jason

With that shop why do anything in the garage? I see your in my neck of the woods.

I’ve read good things about CPP (Classic Performance Parts) down in LA, so I went with their Rear Disc Brake conversion kit and their Rear Flip Kit.

Good luck on CPP, I had to replace 80% of my front disc kit because of crappy quality parts in the kit. Was a huge waste of money.

Yanking out and putting rubber plugs in holes. That way there is always an option if someone feels like they need to put them back :)
