With your mad skills combined with your very sharp observation, I'm certain you'll be able to replicate that dash perfectly. After all, look at the outstanding job you did on those pedals. I am overwhelmed!

Thanks Mark. Hopefully I can do this thing some justice.

You'll be fine. That's the best reference. When I do my 4th gen T/A kit I'm in the same boat. Have one in the garage

Which kit do you have? I've got a Revell 1998 Trans Am kit that I'd really like to get to one day.

P.S. I'm looking forward to watching that build when you get around to it. If you need any pointers on body prep and paint lemme know bro.

I just couldn't get over the OOB steering column/ wheel. No turn signal lever, no column tilt lever and no shifter lever???!!! Hell at least put a shifter lever on it. Will be adding all these items plus an ignition switch.

A couple of reference photos from my truck to show the various color tones and detail colors on and around the IP area.

Then the cluster itself....and yes....the odometer is correct at 401,811 miles.

Well—I can’t wait to see what you come up with next, Joe. How will you build the column controls, bud? Do you have spares or any aftermarket to modify or is this scratchbuilding time?

This, my good friend Bruce....be scratchbuildin' time.

Beautiful dash man. I think you'll have no problem pulling that off.

Congrats on getting past 400K miles. I had a Nissan Sentra that went 697,000+ miles before it gave up the ghost.

Scratchbuilding time is the best. Cheers.

After 4 days of painting and detailing I've got the dash finished. Lots of masking and painting tonal variations and colors involved but I managed to get it done. Next up...….steering column detailing.
