Default Dash console

I've been working on a dash console to house some gauges, vents and HVAC controls. Still need to bodywork the seams, then paint it. It will attach over the OEM piece, then to the dash.

Can I ask what color that is?
I've been looking for the right shade of blue for my 69 Firebird and I really like that

It's Grotto Blue. I haven't seen too many Grotto Blue cars in person, but mine seems a bit lighter than others. It could be because we used a white urethane sealer under the color versus a gray. Not totally sure though.

The dash console and gauge cluster is installed. I got the exhaust installed as well. I'm chasing some electrical gremlins- turn signals, brake lights, hazards aren't working. Think the tail light housings aren't grounded well due to the new paint.

Need to set the timing and adjust the carb because it's idling about 1500 rpms.

I'd been fighting issues with the turn signals, hazards, brake lights and horn. I found the turn signal switch was old, brittle, and not working properly. Along with that the upper steering column bearing was worn out. It was the original, non-tilt, column, which I was planning to replace in the future. So, I went ahead and picked up a universal tilt column. I had to weld 4 nuts on shaft to be able to mount the stock column mounting bracket and adapt the rag joint to the bottom of the column shaft. But, overall it went pretty smooth and all the lights are now working properly.

I added a reverse switch to the Muncie, finished the wiring and secured the wires under dash, chased down some coolant leaks at the upper radiator hose, installed an MSD diode to remedy my engine run on, installed side mirrors, door locks and handles, etc.

I'm close to a test drive. Next up is finishing the interior. My *goal* is to have the car completed enough to make the next Cars and Coffee in town on 7/27. We'll see...
