New Dash Bezel
Went to the Portland swap meet a couple of weeks ago and picked up a new bezel for my dash. Got it for $25US but only comes in black or chrome. I bought the chrome and this weekend i painted it to match. It should really clean it up.

Re: New Dash Bezel
I think there are $30 in the catalog from Car and Truck shop. All i did was clean the rough chrome with brake clean and mask off all the chrome. That was the worst, getting that little chrome ring around all the gauges. Then it slightly lifted after I had painted it, so with a little thinner on a clean rag, go back and wipe off all the over spray. Cursing as i did it, but well worth the finished product.. Any one know what the best LED to use to make it "glow" a little better. E-bay is ok but they want a fortune for shipping.
