    1) Steering wheels

    2) Lower dash/package tray

    3) Wheels

    And of course, details about any of them that you feel like sharing. Seeking inspiration and insight. Of course, admiring other Mav's is a bonus. :D

    :thumbs2:You must have some experience striping. Cause I know you didn't get them nice stripes first time around. I tried striping years ago. Lets just say I would rather pay someone if I wanted stripes.

    Wheels, Steering Wheel, Package Tray

    Here are the wheels. They have have Mustang center caps on the Magnum 500s but I will be painting the caps green to match the car.

    What I don't have is a picture of the finished product. I went through all of my pictures and that's one I never took. I'll take one tonight when I take her over to my indoor car show and shoot a pic.

    Alright gents......tell me about this gauge set up Im seeing on that lower package tray. There was no radio in my car when I bought it, and I stare at the package tray wondering what I'll do with the empty, open space all the way across it (since I know seeing through to the underside of the dash panel will bother me)

    :)

    My gauges are 2 5/8" Autometer mechanical under the dash and 3 5/8 tach on the steering column. I hve the large gauges cuz my eyesight ain't the best. I removed the radio frm the dash and put it in a diy enclosure on the hump. I covered the empty space w/ a piece of 1/4 plywd cut to fit the opening, hinged "swings down", painted satin blk and covered w/ plaques frm events I have attended. I plan to move an auxilary fuse panel behind that panel.
