So my oil OSI sender and coolant temp sender were bad. So I got two autometer gauges and cut the dash up. There wired to a 12v constant. I was to lazy to run wire to the dimmer switch.

Also since the factory temp and oil psi gauge didn't work I have no idea if this thing over heats or if I have an oil presure, so when I start it its going to be a big deal cause then ill pull the motor and stoke it or throw a 302 in it

Sand everything with 180 grit then clean with 80-90% alcohol then what I used was camo krylon fusion in green first then spray the leafs in the other colors till I was happy with the way it looked. Waited a day then three coats of flat clear coat. Don't spray the door handles... The oil. In your skin messes thw paint up and it looked really bad. The dash however didn't look bad but I skiped the clear on the dash to see what happens
