Are those fasteners for the speedo cluster recessed?

Incredible job!!!

I rebuilt the Stock Dash and drilled the Cluster holes slightly larger and used a Chrome "button Head" 10/32" bolts. The are not really recessed though. I used small O-rings behind all the dash hardware avoid digging into the new paint. I Moved the dash guages around a little to give it a custom look. I moved the glove box in a few inches to make room for the roll cage coming soon.

Thanks for all the compliments!

Here are a few pics of my latest.... I finally got to drive it! After 3 years of building it was so worth it. It is not registered yet but I had to take it down the road. Road suprisingly well. I need to make a few small changes then take to shop for alignment, then Exhaust. J. Blakeslee is hookn up my seats very soon. I am hoping like hell to put a few local miles on it then taking it to CT on Aug 14th for Putnam BYOB.

Lol, That's awesome... I'd be grinning ear to ear rolling in that sweet ride. Maybe he is putting some miles on it to get it ready to go offroad ;)
