Ok, with the decision made to restore the original dash gauges and bezels.

And with Auto Instruments getting less than stellar reviews, CV Vacuum plater is out of business. Performace car graphics is by far not my first choice
Is Instrument specialties the only one left ?

I'm going to do the switches in house.

Sorry, this isn't meant to hijack.

As with all this stuff its all about the skills and tools one has but what exactly is done on the dash overhauls? I keep thinking this is one of the easier places to DYI. Maybe it's the chrome finish - I take it that isn't painted on?

[edit]
Sorry, to clarify my post. With all that I have seen you do and have heard it would seem that if all the acceptable options are gone why not do it yourself? Is it just a ROI issue?
