Ray,
If you got the old heater together- Congratulations! I used to tell new guys when you got past the heater you were half way there! However, if Budget allows jump ahead 25 years, get a Vintage Air Mini Heater/Defroster! It fits very nice totally behind the custom dash, puts out twice the heat and the defroster will actually work!
CR's Gauges: Wow I have only seen one set and that is with the Cobra I am building now! Very rare indeed. When the original CR's was operating and owned by RUTHERFORD those gauges were a marketing tool and given away with each new kit.

Gauges & Switches: Lay them out anyway you'd like, but remember, one change anywhere will require a modification to the dash harness. ( I haven't laid out the gauges or switches per the manual in years!)

But the best thing about that kit is it has to be one of first ones actually made by CR's before they started subletting the bodies out to "Henry"! Henry was not know for his quality glass work Although they were, OK, they took a lot more work to make them pretty!
