I can still see too many wires!!!!!

Bwhahahaha, geez Jared cut some slack brother! Those will all be tucked away, gotta figure out where I want the ALDL, then the rocker switch wiring will be hidden.
Crap, I need to do a shout out. There is a big off white ish box under the left side of column hanging in the pic. Isn't that for cruise? If so I will unhook it.

Nothing huge, but finished up the rear defrost bezel and got it back in the car. I couldn't tell on if it had a "chrome" outline due to age, but Turna sent me a pic to confirm, so I touched it up. Looks 1000x better.

The dash is looking amazing Scott. What are you doing for a stereo head unit? What goes in the hole where the HVAC control head was?

Thanks Jared, chipping away at it. Turna has a nice pioneer head unit that will find it's way into the Cutlass, just need to pickup a new install kit since the main bracket I had is broken.
Where the HVAC unit was....I'm not 100% sure yet. I used to have a vacuum, wideband, and perimeter gauges there, might put my rocker switches there, might just build a blank plate.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I guess with EFI you won't be using those gauges anymore?

I have a few ideas....

Not right now buddy. However once I add boost I will need a boost and another wideband, so maybe I'll just make a blank plate for the short term and keep the switches where originally planned.

Get some sheet carbon fiber to continue the theme. You could actually whittle a radio bezel too.
