I bought 3.5" Pyle speakers on Amazon for under 20 bucks, I have some Sony 6 x 9's in the back from Walmart for around 50 bucks with the Custom Auto sound stereo, could it be a little better, but still sounds good. I bought an old school booster/equalizer I want to hook up to it, so we'll see. As far as the dash, I had an old Camaro with a brittle dash, I rubbed Vaseline on it about once a week for a few months and it seemed to actually soften it up. I did get that light in the mail yesterday, thanks again!
Clean it with de greaser first to make sure it's good and clean. I have used full strength purple cleaner successfully on a 4th gen Trans Am dash and it worked great. Use a tooth brush or whatever to get into the nooks and crannies. Spray the cleaner, let sit about five min. and then wash off with water hose. Towel dry and put fan in front to finish drying. Make sure it's good and clean and dry (overnight or longer,) wipe down with 70% iso alcohol and paint with a good quality black vinyl paint. Very carefully paint it in one coat, no more. More coats will fill in the leather grain and not look good and hard to get off to redo.
You can get the crud off of those sail panels, etc. with Purple cleaner or Simple Green. It won't get 100%, so a toothbrush is good for the stubborn stuff.
