The gauges looked pretty good at a glance, but after a closer inspection, I found them to be unusable. After the gauges were unfastened and discarded, I began to remove the vinyl upholstery material and foam backing. Both ends of the dash were rusted out, from years of sitting outside without a cover.

I am considering repairing the dash with metal patch panels welded in place. It is a bit time consuming, but I have checked eBay and there are none up for auction. I was planning to redesign the dash with fiberglass, so I guess a little welding is not that much of an issue. Challenging.
