Well, the devil is in the details for sure. Who would have thought that seatbelts would be such a pain in the ass (to obatin). Now I know I have been saying it is going to upholstery for like three months, but now it is for sure headed there, wait for it, tomorrow.

I am pretty happy with the look, can't wait to see it with the dash installed...

Looks simple enough, but it wasn't

I may have to go with a bigger wheel...

Anyone know how I can go about popping that oil level module out of there and replacing it with a volt module?

I want the one gauge center console look - plus I need room for the lcd screen. I believe it can be done, jus curious if anyone had some info that would save me from more research.

If the 911 levels gauge is like the 914 gauge (and I'm pretty sure it is... I don't own one yet), you should just have to undo 4 screws on the back of the gauge housing to remove the module, and angle it a bit to get it out.

The problem is, that will still leave you with the "tank" and "oel" legends on the gauge face. To change the face, you have to pry the bezel off the gauge. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to carefully pry the back of the bezel until you can slip it off.
