Thanks!!
Yeah, the Dakota gauges do look good in there. They have a few different choices for colors and I chose the black so they don't stand out as being modern aftermarket at first glance. Even though I'm doing a restomod on this car, my intention is for it to be a mild one and retain a factory look as much as I can while modernizing where I just feel I need to in order to make myself enjoy the car more when it's done.

So I did a test fit on my dash and found an issue.



The dash speaker kit I bought isn't going to work. The speaker on the driver side wont clear the center A/C duct. Bummer, the place I bought the kit from (classiccarstereos.com) said the it fits a GTO with A/C but it does not. I was impressed with the company however. I called them yesterday and they told me they would give me a complete refund and pay for the return shipping. Without the original box and after 2 months too.

So I already decided to go another route and ordered this speaker from RetroSound:
