Made a little progress on the dash.
I’m still on the fence of putting the black vinyl dash panel that goes around the speedometer back on. It looks really clean with out it.

It does look clean with out it. The vinyl is so hard to keep clean.

Looking great!! Tell me about your radio...I’ve seen ones that look retro but have fairly modern features.

I agree, verses with the panel that looks like this.
But it’s a tough call staying with the Laredo trim details.

Looks great Bill, I would leave the vinyl off also.

Yeah, that’s what this one is. I’m not a big music fan, so I wasn’t as as concerned about sound quality, more about the look.

Sweet! I’d still be interested in your impression after you begin driving the Scrambler. It’s probably what I’ll go with unless it’s a complete PoS.

I almost think I would leave that off the dash at first too, does it glue on?

I agree. I can always add it later if I want it to be more “correct” but it is so clean with out it.

It does, I have it on its way. I’ll probably keep for down the road

Clean lookin dash. Skip the vinyl for now. Its optional down road. Sounds like that's a common opinion. Nice work.

Thanks buddy, it does bring a smile seeing at least that part of the jeep back in the garage. It’ll be two years next month [emoji17]

Thats a long resto!!! In the end its all gonna be worth it. I've never seen a quick quality restoration. Though I will admit 2 years is definatley not quick.

That’s about as fast as I can afford. But as long as I have it for summer, I’ll be happy
