Was the 82 gn the only b4b car to receive the charcoal grey gauge, radio and dash bezel? The wood grain in my car is getting me down. I have some vinyl wrap I have left over from de wooding my Denali truck(I hated the plastic wood in it too) that I did a quick test on the gauge bezel and it's a little dark compared to the 84-87 grey console applique I installed. If I do wrap it I would have to paint the bevel areas and I don't want to ruin the factory piece if I don't have too. What are the chances of finding a factory grey set?

I forgot all about you making that custom tachometer in the cluster. That looks nice! I'd like to do something like that in place of the clock in my 67 impala. I think it would be as simple as making a new overlay for an autogauge tach

Thanks. I'm sure with the right editing software it would be quick but I used Microsoft paint and it tool forever to isolate the digits from the clock.

Next on the docket is a digital voltmeter that will go in a "spare" dummy light pocket and mount my alky control in the bezel in the open space below the defrost. I'm hoping I can order a set of filters from kirbans and cut and glue the alky and low alky in a couple light slots that aren't required but I think they are different sizes.

There must have been another car besides the '82 GN to use grey bezels. I found a grey bezel once at a swap meet that only had three pods, so it wasn't for a '82 GN. I think it was for a Century. (Century and Regals share the same dash)

I like the dark grey more but the bright silver would sure pop

I liked the color combo on the Somerset on the outside. Those seat though. Definitely different.
