I am not clear on the reason for this mod, I assume its to free up space for gages/controllers related to engine performance? IF so its a reasonable way to do it. The job looks to be a simple one providing you don't mix up the harness. Good going and let us see the finished job.

Ok, I didn't get to do the panel work today so I'll do that tomorrow. All I got to do was install all wiring and circuit board into the dash. Here's some pics of everything. I cut the part that protected the circuit board off of the rest of the giant thing that used to be attached to the back of the A/C controls which obviously is no longer needed, especially since it wouldn't even come close to fitting under the lower center console .

Ok I got everything cut out nice with my dremel. I sanded it all down and got all the paint off and started to bondo it all. I will get some pictures up tomorrow. The paint is a bitch to sand off because it is so thick. Took me forever since I did it by hand. Dremel woulda beat my panels up. But anyways I should have the lower center console done by tomorrow and painted. I have to figure out how I'm gonna set the layout on my upper center console up. I want to possibly put my turbo timer up there, maybe move my boost gauge up there, and then possibly put in a A/F gauge (kinda want a wideband, anyone know how much they are?).

I feel damned good! I finished the lower center console and its waiting to dry right now with its second coat of paint already. I will get pictures once I do a few more coats, I'm thinking about 5 coats. I will then start working on the upper center console and placements of gauges. It looks really good, looks great for my first time working with bondo and panel work IMO. Hope everything turns out good with no sudden "pit stops".
