    I think I bought them from Legendary many years ago.

    Larry, did you put LED lights in the dash?

    I’m not very familiar with the 70-72’s but your dash lights look great. I do see the Gear Venders overdrive though.

    No, not generally, something more specific to my particular car. You'd have to be familiar with my dash to notice it. Not the GV.:)

    The LED lights make a HUGE difference. I also put them in the Autometer gauges, glove box, radio dial, courtesy and sail panel lights as well as the license plate and trunk light.

    Is it the 10 MPH numbers, looks like 01? Can’t really tell from the pics but might also have tall numbers on the tach and short on the speedometer.

    Nice mats, Larry but, they're unlike the factory originals.

    The originals had the lines in the upper section of the mat (where the Logo is) straight up and down. Yours are at a diagonal. Close though.

    Doo Wop Where were you in '62?

    Mats come from one supplier if I recall right.

    Ray, that's an optical delusion, probably because the mat isn't laying flat. Look at the picture in Post#4. Come to think of it, I used the wide angle option on my i phone, that might be contributing to it.

    Larry,

    Are there some added lamps to the climate control panel? Everything looks nice to me. I like the lamps lighting up the floor pans. Where did you buy the bulbs? Do they use similar bulb numbers as the originals?

    No, there are 2 lamps in the climate control. The LED equivalents are so much brighter. The stock bulbs are 1893's. The LED equivalent is the BA9S, these are the ones that I bought

    They are the same bulbs for the clock/tachometer, radio dial, and glove box light.

    The bulbs under each 2 front corners are 89's. these are the ones I used,

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VMFRPNX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Same ones for the trunk and license plate light.

    The sail panels get these,
