You could use one of those GPS adapters and make the speedo work. With the exception of the voltmeter, the rest just look good with nothing to do.:D

Being a cheap set, the speedo is mechanical so a GPS module won't work...:( - for that matter, neither would the volt meter, its display is for a 12V charging system whereas for this setup it would need to display 0 to 48 Volts of discharge...

I love the dash. Is the glove box functional?

Yep, need somewhere to stash the speeding tickets :D
 
While the body tub is at the upholstery shop getting the interior and top done, I disassembled the chassis, cleaned it up and painted everything yesterday. Put it back together today and rolled it out for some daylight pics :cool::)

Been busy doing bodywork and paint the last week and a half, now its all done, time to re-assemble. Bled the brakes, dropped the body on and installed the wiring harness that I made up awhile ago.

Are ya tryin to convert rodders into golfers or golfers into rodders???[S:D

Either one will do....:D

Moving along with assembly, interior put together and dash in, wiring done except for tail lights, hood and side on too. I'm pretty happy with the dash, I just put the second spray of urethane clear on it yesterday - the "Cabernet" stain on the oak goes nicely with the wheel color and the burgundy vinyl. Got the first test drive today, the 11" disc brakes work excellently - got something funky going on with the controller with an annoying 7 second delay after switching into forward or reverse - but when working, it really scoots!!
