    I got a set of new reproduction seat buttons for my new upholstery back in 2010 from Fred Carello here on the forum: http://mmb.maverick.to/members/fmc56.2366/

    Fred is next to impossible to get ahold of. The mustang ones will work fine for me.

    My ruffed in custom dash based on a design by Richard Kuss. The idiot light panel is a 7 light panel because that was the smallest they made so I doubled up on the turn signal indicators. The other 3 are cruise control, high beam, and low fuel.





    and low fuel. dash panel.jpg idiot lights.jpg

    That is cool on the cruise light. So are you installing cruise? If so.....What kind is it, how are the switches, etc.

    Now you need to step it up one more notch and make the directional indicators in the dash sequential!! The cluster looks great, I plan on doing something similar but I will use Harley indicators, they are compact and cover the basics.

    Its all metal Barry. Craig, I am putting cruise control in it made by Rostra. The control panel will be mounted in the dash. I eliminated the ash tray and made a lighted cutout in that area to mount the panel.
