Re: The "Too Old's Sonic" Project !!
Well, it's been awhile now but I have not been sitting on my hands! I have been waiting for my new fuel pumps to come in and my Dominators to get back from Chuck Noone after flowing, etc. I didn't mention earlier but the carbs were so messed up the port engine caught on FIRE!! Scary!! 
I got it out with no problem though.
While waiting I was also building a new back seat assembly for the upholstery to be redone. It is made of 'glassed pressure treated plywood & should never rot again.
I had never really been happy with the old dash as it came from Fred (after the new paint). Fred did a nice job on repainting the dash but it just didn't fit the new graphics. Here is a partial picture of the old dash.
Something must be wrong with OSO, it will not open the attachment window.......????
I'll try later.

The .jpg seems to work for me. I know that the .bmp will always show as a clickable link.
Maybe you have an option turned off to view pics in the thread?

Re: The "Too Old's Sonic" Project !!
Or did you possibly when you saved your file as .jpg, did you leave the "save as type" box on the bottom as a bitmap.......causing the file to be called "Picture.jpg.bmp" ???
Post one of your .jpg's and i'll see if i can figure it out.

Ok now, as I said before... I was a little bored with the dash panel and the port side panel was a plain purple plastic piece.... needless to say I had to fix this!!
Here is the new Port dash panel.

That's really purple- not blue. I told my painter I wanted the Starboard side to match & I had purchased a "couple of new gauges" as mine were 1988 models. Here is what I ended up with.
