Thanks all for your positive comments and will add some info. The seat covers are temporary as I really ran out of money and wanted to use the car this summer. The front buckets are black and out of a 64 T-Bird, same as the XL500 ones, the rear seat is ripped and blue. The seats may get done this winter along with some other things that are bugging me. The following link has some pics of how I received the car from Montana.

As far as the instruments go, they are Classic instruments and the link follows. I had heard that "back in the day" H&M made a replacement cluster for the 63/64, but could never find even a photo of one so I winged it. Gutted a stock cluster and used my drill press and milled down the the two large pods which held the fuel and temp gauge. Since the cluster is die cast once you remove about 3/16" you come up with a hollow between the outter and the inner. Remove the inner spider supports, I used the drill press again with an end mill. What you end up with is a hole large enough for a 3-3/8" gauge. Used the orginial plastic speedo lense as a template and cut out a piece of 1/8" aluminum to hold the four smaller gauges. They just fit as you can see. Added the lights I wanted/needed, kept the oil and gen lights as a back up and the yellow is on when I have overdrive engauged. I pre wired and tested the cluster while on the bench so it was easy to tie in to the old harness. I had an extra dash and had the whole thing, also all the interior moldings, powder coated.
