Sounds great, can't wait to seeing a few pics when you get your convertible out!

Question, how was your dash gages to remove? I have a couple acting up and unsure how the face comes apart

I actually didn't have to take them out my gas gauge turned out to be the sending unit and the brake light was a stuck brake distribution valve all other gauges were working I did install after market oil, temp ,and volt gauges as well

Do you have the Cutlass Assembly Manual? The gages are really easy to access on 70-72. Undo 4 trim screws (2 upper gage panel, 1 in each lower diffuser lens), then tilt the faceplate out. You now have access to the gage fasteners.
