My new 84-85 Stereo/gauge surround - pix
Well after having this idea for 4 years I did it.
I took the upper 3 hole part and blended a spare I had into the lower deck area so the gauges are set back in the dash and kind of give a factory look, I then molded in the CD Player surround also, bondo'd and sanded it all, then shot it with primer and the gun metal I did the rest of the console in.
This is just a trail run to see if every thing works before I spend the time to make a better looking one. This one has some imperfections and blemishes.

Looks great. I sent a PM to Manntis last week, asking if he has any plans to produce something like what you've done there. Haven't heard back yet, but I sure hope he or somebody produces it for mass consumption.
