Restored my instrument panel and newer steering wheel vs: original wheel photos.

OK, My '67 Short Step has a one wire alternator and had a non working ammeter so I decided to change to a volt meter using info from this board and a donor meter from an early 80's Chevy truck. Took the instrument panel apart and did the meter switch as well as changed to LED lights and painted the black face of the panel. Didn't appreciate the grey later model steering wheel so I restored an old bent and cracked wheel obtained locally. After all the JB weld and sanding the wheel got 2 coats of primer, 2 of gloss black and 3 of clear coat. LED's were sensitive to which way they are installed but every one lit. Now I have a BRAKE warning light on that I didn't have before and have to look into that. Anyway I thought you guys might appreciate the photos and thanks to all the guys who posted info on how to switch to a volt meter.
