Can't wait to see it!

Dash looks good, could you have put the gauges from behind if you wanted to?

On our car, and with the the Classic instruments gauges, I don't think it would have worked. The gauge sizes for the Marquez dash cluster are 3 3/8 and 2 1/16, while the classic gauges themselves are 3 3/8 and 2 1/8. This meant, while the tach and speedo fit fine, the others required a little bit of trimming, that and the gauges had curved faces, instead of flat.

The Marquez dash cluster even came with some really nice looking bezels that screw in and out, and since we didn't use them, we were thinking they would make a great trim piece for some cup holders.

I have some updates on the interior too, but I'm having trouble uploading pics right now.

That's what completes the whole package.There is nothing wrong with a finished interior...(I'm a little biased):D

Speaking of "green" cars. I can't remember where I heard it, but there was a Mustang guy, I think, who put a hybrid badge on his car. When everyone asked why it was a hybrid, he simply responded, "it burns two things, gas and rubber"

and speaking of the interior, apparently another customer stopped by the shop and thought everything was great, except for the idea of the diamond stitching, which reminded him of an old 40s or 50s truck. I can only hope most people won't make that association. I mean, is that what you guys think of when you see diamond stitching?

I hate to say it but that is the first thing I think of when I see that. Maybe because that's the only kind of ride I see it in? I am sure it will turn out nice when it's all done either way.:thumbsup:

Diamond stitch pattern is used in alot of EURO cars now,Look at the newer Lambo's. We have used it before and are putting it in a car now.Sometimes what is old is new again...Go for it

Not sure why someone would make a comment about the 'throw back' look of the diamond stitch...

This is the plan for my 37 Ford 3 window I'm building (re-doing ground up)...
