Been chipping away a couple hours at a time, but making progress. Tidied up under dash wiring, wired the reverse light and neutral safety switch from the TKX, labeled under dash/hood wiring, installed vintage air hoses, mounted Dakota Digital switch, adjusted the fuel pressure and voltage on the Vaporworx controller.

Also installed the Retrosound kick panels, which fit well and accommodate 4x6 speakers. The rest of the sound system consists of a Retrosound Daytona radio receiver, Infinity Kappa 6x9s in the package tray, JL audio 10" sub in the trunk, and a stereo 4x10. The speakers are driven by a Infinity Reference 5 channel amp mounted in the trunk. It's a simple system but sounds great.

Also installed the Lecarra steering wheel. The color works well with the rest of the interior. Took a while to figure out how to get the horn working with the Flaming River column and their spacers and cancel cam (had to trim the stanchions on the switch adaptor so that the center cap didn't protrude too far) but it turned out nice.

The Dakota Digital RTX gauges are great...they maintain that factory gauge vibe so they don't look out of place in an old car, and are very easy to install and set-up. I run them in my '70 as well. The company's customer service is stellar, whenever I've had an issue, it's been resolved really quickly with no hassle.

I'm glad you like them! I know a thing or two about Dakota Digital. 😉
