View attachment 80167 View attachment 80168 Got my dash bezel for the bonneville all wrapped up. The wood grain had to go. At first I was thinking turn motor, then brushed silver and finally put this on..What do you guys think? timo22

looks great Timo! I bought a roll of the faux stuff a few years ago on clearance,back when I worked at the parts store, and have been contemplating doing this to mine, and think you may have sealed the deal for me!

I'm just envious pontiac got the cool dash. Olds and Chevy close 2nd and 3rd respectively. And Buick in the back (save for the GNX) with all the other D students.

I've always liked the cluster in the 78-83 Regals...

Looking at it now, I'd like the 78-83 a lot more of there was a tach and an oil pressure gauge. But with that design there's only so much real estate.
 
for the tach, could do what Rus did on his buttless 4dr century....
 
Started the EC to move it out of the garage. Found that it was cold enough to make the rear view mirror fall off. Also found that the chinese ignition module in my distributor does not like the cold. It runs like crap and the tach goes crazy until it gets a little heat in it.

Ever thought about our friends at New Vintage USA to look into a custom cluster to have full gauges & a 120 speedo? I know Buicks got shafted with their cluster design.
Not quite in the budget, but I'd like to at some point have a GNX style cluster made. Maybe with SW gauges as well. But a volt gauge rather than turbo.
