Just curious - what's the wheel & tire combo here?

Mike, they're MB "Old School" wheels. 17x9.5 and 17x 8s.

I think the company has been rebranded and are called something else now, but they're still in production last I checked.

Putting the dash back together.. new top dash pad, complete rewiring, rebuild gauges mechanicals and A/C heater controls... original untouched woodgrain and gauge faces  ;D

 I have the same problem.  The center A/C vents just don't Line up perfectly.

Rear Defogger, cool.

How did your new dash pad fit? Hopefully the A pillar trim drops in nicely with the new pad.  :cheers:

Puzbie

The pad (Legendary) went on easily and looks like a good match.  This is a complete restoration rebuild so it'll be a while before the dash goes back in and longer before the interior is ready.  When the dash does go in I'll try the alignment with the A-pillar parts and write back about it.

Yes it is frustrating because the lower pads are in great shape but the one around the center vent is pulling away from the metal backing... I started a post in the interior section to see if anyone has a solution without completely rebuilding the pads...

Did some work on the inside this time. Dyed the carpets  and put a nice set of seat covers over the seats,they were good an I wanted to keep them that way plus a black vinyl seat gets pretty hot when they sit in the sun.

Not seen those before...they fit well. I'm sure folks would like to know the brand/make.

Nice job looks killa i wish my woood grain was that good  which wiring harness did you use ?

Puzbie

Thanks... it helps when the car was taken off the road in '90 when the brake caliper went out and I was a broke college student... much less aging  :icon_smile_cool:  I bought the harness from Year One I think M&H was the manufacturer.. I've had the harness since 2016...  I went that direction because it was a true reproduction plug and play.  Now hopefully it all works  :shruggy:

When you are at this stage it might be worth going out and try hooking a car battery up and just see how bright the dash lights are some time when you can be in total darkness
My dash is original too and the white numbers are more faded than yours but I am finding it hard to read the gauges in the dark with lights on
Thinking about switching to LED lights
Would be easy for you to do at this stage if you discover it might help  :yesnod:

Not for my Charger but I have some seats for a Challenger. Took the tracks off, cleaned, painted, lubed, and rebuilt them.

The guy that bought the Hemi 500 last summer came up to look at my red 69, no sell. But I turned him onto a 68 Hemi GTX, he took it home. Finally pulled the broadcast sheet out of the red car, perfect shape,  also  got it to start after sitting for 23 years, good feeling. Another week before I start back to work,  going to work on the car.
