I also did a custom gauge face for the speedo.
Are those LEDs you used for lighting, Scott? Looks very bright!
Yes those are all LED's. Every bulb in the car is now LED with the exception of the glove box light because its reversed polarity.

I got the glove box lid put back together and installed last night.
Now the whole dash matches.

Some new pictures.
I’ve done a few small changes to the car but nothing anyone would really notice.
I added a small red circle detail to the oil filler cap. I painted the exhaust system with high heat black paint. I installed my red powder coated Clark’s valve covers. I painted the inside of the trunk where the weather stripping goes. I installed stainless steel fuel lines (now I know why people don't run them. They were very difficult to get to seal). I installed a fuel pressure gauge in the engine compartment. I painted under the front cowl matte black. I changed headlights to Hella brand housings which improved the beam pattern allot. I’m very happy with the headlights now.
Things on the horizon. Two new much more powerful amplifiers for the stereo system. Rebuild 64 front and rear suspension and brakes to replace the 60 suspension. New exhaust system. I have some more led accessory lights to install. Black cut pile carpets, black door panels and upholster the speaker box finally.

Oh and I won my first trophy 🏆 👍

Had to change out the battery connections. The post style kept coming loose.
Now they are bolted down. :tu:

Upgrading from 640watts to 2200watts. I added graphics to match the car.
