Switches and wiring will make this the only completely finished part on the car.  8) rofl  Gunmetal gray powdercoat.

I'm worn out and tired from just looking at it.  When you going to have time to drive Wes?

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Dash,wired with umbilical cords. Not mil spec but better than any wiring I have done so far. GXL wire,amphenol connectors and high quality spades where unavoidable. Should never have a wiring issue.

Very nice work fabr!  I see you have labels for all the wires also.

Labels are a must. Several years ago I bought a Dymo wiring label maker. Uses nylon tape and 3m adhesive. Very durable.

Where did you say you buy the connectors? Do they require special tools to connect the wires?
