Default Deluxe 85% complete
Just wanted to update and thank all those who helped me and provided much help and guidance. I just installed the new dash and emblems per NC D'Luxes advice and it was very easy... just plug and play. I wanted to stay true to nostalgia from the start and mostly succeeded imho. Will post better photos as I tie up the loose ends. Thanks guys
