Dashboard / Console questions?

OK, in reading all (or at least ALOT) of the previous threads you guys have done, I feel like a babe in the woods....hahaha. Dang, you guys are good!

So here's my problem. I am going to need to re-do at least some portions, if not all, of the console but my goal is to keep my 76' Sptifire as classically original as possible. My problem is, I have no idea what "original" is suppose to look like!

Can you post some pics of your consoles so I can get a visual, and any helpful hints?
Thanks!

Thanks! The wood panels on mine are in very good condition, but the dash and trim are in need of replacement. Are they tricky to do or pretty cut and dried?

We're getting snow here again :frown: so I haven't been able to really get in there and look at it.
