The center console is an MDF frame wrapped in fiberglass, and vinyl wrapped. It still needs tweaking for a perfect fit. I am going to look into other materials for the speedo/tach plate, it's too thick to where I can't get the lens on over the guages. (they stick out of the platform where stock guages were flush.) Seats are corbeaus. you can get the kit from speed direct for any C3.. However in an 82 The drivers seat frame needs modification to fit properly. Not sure about other year models. I plan to add a shark bar and 4 point harnesses. (Not street legal in TX without seat belts I am afraid)

From the shape of the upper dash, I believe we're looking at a 78-82, which wouldn't have the sunken speedo and tach.

I love the gauges...I also love the DVD look. Everything about the center console is great! I would agree with others about the tach speedo housing. I would look to round it out a bit instead of the squared off look & try to sink the whole things back just a bit. Just an opinion though...I love what you have done so far!
