Painted dash panels
Painted dash panels
The panels where like this when I got the car. The PO painted them silver with a light metallic flake. I kinda like it but I also like the wood look.

Re: Painted dash panels
I like the look of that dash.Sometimes,something a little different makes the car stand out in the crowd.

Re: Painted dash panels
or painted the dash to match the clock
Re: Painted dash panels
Ha ha ha
I thought that is the way the clocks came from the factory Fogged over and not working. I have to keep something looking original in the car. Someday i wll replace it.

Re: Painted dash panels
does the clock work? if so, an inexpensive flashlight can be had to give up its "crystal" for the clock.
Re: Painted dash panels
The clock does not work but i wll try the flishlight lens so Mark and Tony will stop picking on my car.
Re: Painted dash panels
last i checked, both Bruces Parts Bin and Midwest 124 sold used gauges, including clocks for next to nothing. Maybe a "new" functioning clock would be really cool.

Re: Painted dash panels
I thought the po painted the clock to prove he's not a slave to time You know, the attitude that says "I don't care what time it is, I'll be there when I feel like it"
Re: Painted dash panels
The broke clock helps.
"Sorry I am late honey I was driving around with roof down having fun and lost track of time. When I looked at the clock it was only 3:15. "
Also my car is so fast the speedometer says I am going 8MPH even when I am parked
My car might look OK but oh boy does it have some problems.

Sometimes I think the clock is the only part that works on my car!

Re: Painted dash panels
Buy a flashlight with the proper size lens and use it to replace your cloudy one!
