Four hours later. Out with the old: ready for the new wires now. But we have work to do on the dash first. | The original 1970 dash had been drilled into, cut out, and basically chopped up to get gauges and switches mounted. Time for a new, better looking dash panel. |
This is the old Olds dash with steering column removed. At 45 lbs, it won't be going back in. | Old instrument panel out, old wiring out... now we can start fresh. |
First look at the Elite Relay panel and MSD ignition mounted on our floor-mounted panel. Can't find a nice piece of aluminum for a mount? Me either; I went to Wal-Mart and bought a nylon cutting board to use as the mounting panel. Easy to work with and stiff enough to hold the parts steady.
