Ive no log book yet so dont know what the new reg will be. Once i have it I will order front and rear plates.

I got the colour code off this link and had it mixed at BCN auto refinishing suppliers in Blackburn. It may be a slight shade out but it looks pretty nice.

Instrument panel ....... Had to butcher the frame to get the new facia to fit properly. Did this so i could mount the original switches and keep the wiring simple. Most of the original clocks didnt work and the whole thing looked knackered hence the change. Keeping all the original parts nice and safe.

Looking good - I assume you have done / are going to perform the Ammeter Bypass on the Bulkhead connector plug.

It is most certainly the weak link on an old Mopar and I nearly lost a 1970 Challenger due to fire because of it.....

......plenty of info on this sit and other on how to do it................

Yea not mad keen on carbon fibre and modern gauges in old cars! Still it's your car and you're enjoying it so that's all that matters.
