The round look just comes from the black plastic housing cover just behind the lens. And, of course, the round holes in the dash bezel.



Now, here's the challenge. Compare Mike's fuel/volt gauges that he had redone to mine that are stock. Can you tell what is different? Shhhh.....don't tell Mike.....

Needles are different? The script is thinner? At least they spell fuel right...

Have you been assembling any of those parts on your car? Amazing how many little unique pieces are on these TAs!

[TA455HO]

I hung the doors....meaning they are free hanging. But, I haven't adjusted them to the opening yet. I was thinking about putting the glass in and a couple of other pieces like the latch to give the door a weight closer to reality so I don't have to compensate or readjust it later once I install the glass.

Anyone have any thoughts on door adjustments and what worked well for them? I know I need to align the back edge with the quarter panel and the lower edge with the rocker panel. Any other concerns to consider?



Thanks,
Chad

Looks great.

You have 2 sheens of black on dash metal /top of firewall?

Looks flat to semi? Or is the inside blue?

More detail pix please!

My interior is blue in this case. If you scroll up to post #268 you can see the blue on the garnish molding for the "A" pillar and the overhead pieces that help retain the headliner.

If you see anything that looks off in what I post please feel free to speak up. I only do the same to try to help others - just ask Mr. BentWheel. I've shared one of my spreadsheets with him and realized I may be a bit OCD. But, I think he liked it.

I need to pull out my old used horn button and see how bad it is. I know the center is scratched up some.

I did snag the new one using a best offer on eBay. Correct for 1970-1981, but I'll just paste in the one reference. I know some of you enjoy the pictures.
