More progress today. Finished cleaning up bezel, masked and painted silver part. Then with my wife's help, put on the fake woodgrain (not easy). Polished gauge tunnels with Plastx.

Removed cluster lens (thanks Scarebird!), cleaned and polished with Plastx.

Cleaned, masked and painted steering wheel pad with SEM Color Coat satin black.

Also I decided to stick with the incandescent bulbs and replaced all of them.

Tomorrow I will mask off and paint dashboard flat black. It has some slight surface rust in spots and stains...probably from condensation. Overall, it just looks old. So, it would be silly not to take the time to repaint it now while everything is apart. Also, will paint steering column tomorrow. I will use Rustoleum satin black.
