The thing is the first one you CANT incorporate the orignial switches into and make it look right, because the right side is too short.

Definitely option 2. Oh and by the way...YOU ARE PURE PSYCHO MR. STINSON! But that's cool, because you use your powers for good.  Or for evil, depending on how ya look at it. Anyway, great job on the project. Danisiti 1

Ooh, I really like that idea. I'd love to have accurate and cleanly installed oil pressure and coolant temp gauges.

Little more progress made today.. Made the shifter surround, still have to cut the holes for the window switches and clean up around the shifter. I cant really do too much because i dont have my dremel with me, ill get to that this weekend...  All I used was a piece of cedar paneling i had left over from when new paneling went up in my closet... Im going to put some veneer or something along those lines to match the factory color scheme... then varnish it so it looks factory.. still, turned out really good. Fits really good, and when its done ill post more in-depth pics but for now...

I would cover it in padded simulated black leather and call it done.

I think I would do black vinyl/seudo leather as well. Padded or not, if not, you'll just need to sand/finish the wood really well so it doesn't show any imperfections. If you leave it wood and it doesn't match it will stand out like a sore thumb. The OEM switches may be difficult to mount in that board. Do you have a plan for that?
