Thanks BEEK, though I think your work far surpasses my modest efforts at improvement

Love the dash work, very clean and classy.

As much as I love burl and highly figured grain, I think they tend to look to busy and compete with the gauges.

You hit it spot on with the straight grained stock.

Thanks all, Now that its done, I will have to take some more pictures. Awaiting my sons' return next month so I can have a couple of extra hands to install the new top

Seabeelt,
Looks very nice!
Where did you get your dash??
Is it a cap or a new dash?
Dave

Dave, the dash itself came from Csaba and Ramzi. It is the molded rubberized one. Not cheap but very nice. The wooden part of the dash I made myself from a piece of solid mahogany. Also bought the center square plastic chrome piece since I was going with the plastic chrome gauge rings. It comes all chrome, so I painted the center horizontal stripe to match the old one. Just haven figured out how to add the nice lettering text identifiers to it yet. (Remove key, brakes, hazard light) .
