Larry, a couple points on these photos under the assumption that you are shooting for originality accuracy. The dash depicted here appears to be cushioned or kind of puffy. This was not the case on originals. Originals were not cushioned as this one. Also, Autometer gauges with Made in the USA have a nice original look but hard to be exact with these gauges if this is what you are shooting for.
