Default Dash swap...not your average.

I've searched thought a lot of the threads here and havent found any describing rolling back a dash conversion.
I'm obviously fond of the Fox body four eyes, and i want my dash to match.
I have an 88lx, and i wanna gut and stuff in my interior from my 84/85gt.
I built a sweet guage cluster and thats also the motivation for this swap.

The skelton was a sticker on original dash, had to cut it out and apoxy it on, and the push button was from a pinball machine i have connected to a starter relay.

So, can anyone point me in the right direction for this?

any help is much appreciated.

thanks.

I have led's behind the plates where the original turn signal indicators were and sealed them to keep in the light.
That dash came out of my 84, i pulled the stock cluster and cut the mold to fit these guages. I think have all the sending units with the guages? i put the thing together like 4 years ago. I finally found a solid body to put all this stuff in just last month.
