Dash Instrument Cluster
Dash Instrument Cluster |
|
| This is a replacement stand-alone dash instrument cluster I bought on e-bay. The one currently installed in the car is not a stand-alone type like this one or the one that was original to the car. It came from a station wagon's dash that had plastic all the way across, and it is squared off on the right side where it meets the next piece of dash plastic. I had the original stand-alone one in storage after it stopped working, but it was damaged by rain. I have heard that the 1965 Mustang dash cluster is the same except for black color instead of chrome. There are replating services available if I want to make this cluster shiny again. | |
Glovebox Door |

This is a glovebox door for a 1965 Ford Falcon, also bought from e-bay at the same time and from the same vendor as the dash cluster. It is in the correct original color for my car's interior. Currently, my car's interior is all black. I hope to return it to ivy gold someday. Also, the glovebox door currently installed has some circular holes cut in it. I don't know when that happened, but it may have been when my late father installed the station wagon dash plastic all the way across (probably sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s). |

Spring 2003: Both projects are indefinitely on hold as I try to get my life together.
Fall 2004: In the past year and a half the dash cluster plastic of the pictured unit was swapped with the squared off plastic of the dash cluster already installed in the car. This dash cluster itself was not installed, but the plastic part was. It was not replated.
