Larry Thank you for the information. The 1800 dashboard has a centre console in the dash which houses four small instruments in a line across the top....fuel, amps, water temp and oil pressure. Underneath that is the radio and then cigar lighter etc. There are "cheeks" which flow down each side and eventually merge into the transmission tunnel. Within these cheeks are three switches either side, in a vertical line, for the lights etc. So it is quite different to the later deign of the 3 litre. The seats are probably very similar though. Thanks also for the tip on textured paint.

If this dash will work I can mold and cover one for you. The origional seats are molded fiberglass which can be made lighter by cutting lightning holes in the glass befor covering, using a less dense foam filler and utilizing a light weight upholsery fabric instead of vinyl or leather. To dress the tunnel, if you aren't going to carpet, there are textured paint like the boat builders use for the inside of fiberglass boats. > Let me know if I can help. > > Larry Meadows > Wimauma Florida > #3v5536 > PS: I did all of the interior work on this car and one other one.
