I bought a original Shelby dash pod for the car off of ebay to put a boost gauge and a tach in. First I took it to a upholstery buddy of mine to try to rap it in black leather. Well it did not work out, so I just painted it.

Bought guages from Summit Racing.

Then I installed them in the dash pod.

Next I tried to find someone with a A/C console to trade so I would not have to cut the full console that the car originaly had.

But as you can now see I did not find one.

So I gave it a bath.

Then I gave it a new coat of that new Krylon Fusion paint for plastics.

I cleaned the original wood grain stickers off of the chrome because they where in bad shape.

Now I need to cut the console chrome down to fit and then ad the new pony interior wood grain stickers to the chrome, but that will be later. Hopefuly the Fast Fuel Injection System will be all wired up soon so I can bring the car home and install the dash pod, A/C unit, console, and the most important thing, "the front end sheet metal" and it will be DONE!!!!! I hope?
There is all the pictures of the build so far. http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh296/angliagasser/

I have an AC console I'll trade you, don't cut one. Mine's been cleaned and painted and is in great shape save for the light in the back, which is OK at best.
Also, where did you get the Shelby gauge pod, I want to find one?

Sorry I cut the console two days ago. As for the dash pod I go it off of ebay. I accidently spelled Shelby gauge wrong (guage, typing to fast) when searching for it and it was the only thing that popped up.
