In this phase of the S71 Dash construction, we're integrating the Auto Meter volt meter, boost gauge, and stereo mounting face into the lower parts of the dash.    Once the pieces were cut and fit, they were sandblasted and powdercoated, then the plastic dash was trimmed to accomodate the gauge itself.    Here you can also see the 3M adhesive we used to mount the face to the original bezel in the top part of the dash.    We are still seeking out the "right" indicators for the signals and high beams, but they can be added anytime before final assembly.  The last part will be to have the dash pad restored by Just Dashes, then it gets assembled and wired!
