Finally got confirmation my gauges have been shipped. Auto Meter white face with black pointers like old school gauges. Black faces would be like SW aircraft/Smith but my eyes prefer white background. Mechanical speedometer, electric tach, water, oil, volts, fuel, vacuum, clock. Add a radio, heater controls, Air Conditioner, and light switches, and the dash will be full...hopefully with a glovebox. Clock or vacuum may go in console. May make the console out of wood and put arm rests on the doors. Anyone added arm wrests to their Alpine? I think next order is seat foam as I hope to build the seats to fit ME. I ain't as TRIM as I once was. Gravity and gravy have taken a toll on the old bod. Add arthritis in my right hand causing my knuckles to POP sometimes when grasping, and things get weird when working. I guess this means I better get busy and build ASAP.

Charles the best looking arm rests in an Alpine are the ones that were in a Harrington
