    Ellie your Dash Board, and Instrument bezels look awesome, and Ron did an awesome job refinishing them like new! You are going to have one beautiful car when you are done restoring it, and people will drool looking at it, knowing you did all the work yourself with your awesome dad! It would be nice if more young people like you took interest in doing something like this, instead to just wasting their lives playing video games! Ellie I give you 10 Thumbs Up for your awesome work!

      Who is Ron and how do I contact him? I have a 64 Ranchero that is a survivor, not a restored car, and I only have a few things left to do to the interior to make her look brand new. I've replaced the voltage regulator, changed all bulbs to LED and fixed akl wiring, so everything works. But the bezel and instrument cluster is old and dingy. I'd love to know who can restore it and replace the chrome, get her looking new again.

    It's always surprising how long it takes for the paint to full cure. It's the one thing I have to force myself to give it plenty of time before reassembly.

    WOW! That is one drool worthy dash! I copied Ron & Martin's link since I just purchased a 1965 Mustang coupe that needs a total restoration. (BTW it has the same engine, carb., transmission , etc., that your Falcon has.) So nice of Ron to donate these to you! Keep up the great work!

    It's looking good. I have always been a Ford person, my first car was a 1960 Ford Fairlane my second was a 1964 Ford Falcon Futura 2 door hardtop with a 260 and fordomatic. My most resent restore was a 1968 Ford Mustang coupe with a 289 C4 tran. Just a pointer for you to do the headliner correctly you well need to remove the windshield and back glass. There are a lot of youtubes on doing it all. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions.

    Lucky you that you have such nice dash trim pieces! They look awesome 😊 Take good care of them, not easy to come by, and when you do they're a lot of $$. Curious about glovebox, seems in video like it's made of plastic. Thought those where always made of cardboard like material, even from factory. 😮

    what size screws did you use to install the dash bezels into place? Right now my car looks like it has 6 different size screws holding them in. I think I am lucky because I actually have all the plastic trim in good condition, other than they need to be refinished. Thanks!

      @ElliesGarage  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, sorry for the delay. The last week has been crazy for us. We had 2 different sizes of screws as well. I'm not positive on the exact size, but we did replace the clips that the screws go into because we were missing a couple. I think if you have screw heads that will fit into your bezel holes, and if they screw nicely into the clips you're using, then you'll be good with picking out a screw that works for you. We're definitely not experts--just what we saw when we were in there. Hope that's somewhat helpful!
