I think the center of the top one is supposed to be painted black..
Always open to ideas and seeing what others have done to recover these things.

Wow sounds like it’s gonna be satisfying and sweet once done. It is certainly a long process and I know what you mean by life getting in the way. I recently came across someone with a complete center console out of a super/custom wagoneer. Defiantly needs some work but if your interested in can set you up with his contact.jpswapmohn wrote:redinwolfe, My GW is an 88, but may not look much like one when complete. It is getting widetrack rear flares and J20 axles. I am trying to get the dash from the same 69 1414x to see if i can rework it to the 88 (I think the steering column moved a little between the years). I also have a 70’s dash to play with, so we will see how it ultimately turns out.
I always liked those reflectors and have searched for a set for a LONG time. I am not sure if i will be able to restore them for use on the GW or not, but my intent was to turn them into LED marker lights.
Not sure which scripts I will decide on, or if I use them at all on the GW. They will get polished up and may become jeep art on my wall. I acquired the older style almost 10 years ago and have them stored away. The 69 badges will go with them until I get to that stage on the GW.
I bought this GW in ‘04, drivetrain redone a couple of times, plans laid out for it a long time but other life priorities always seem to get in the way (lots of deployments, kids’ college, reliable vehicles for everyone, weddings, you get the idea..). My signature line is truer than i ever imagined when i coined it so many years ago. It is in process of installation of the new axles, so maybe..
