in addition to the mods pictured on this page, i'm replacing probably 90% of the car's original equipment all the way down to all the wire harnesses, every interior component, vucuum line, hydrolic parts, everything. the only real major parts that won't get replaced are things like the frame, and the screws and bolts (although most of those will be swapped out for newer ones here and there).

I'm loving the 3d gauge find. But I've been looking for a set myself for a while and I've come up flat out of luck. Where'd you find those?
