 I just wanted to follow back regarding my 66 low profile rally pac restoration. I stripped the gauge pods of all the prior paint and gave them a fresh coat of black wrinkle paint.  I then baked the wrinkle finish for approximately 10 minutes at 200°.  It turned out nice in my  opinion. I then masked the wrinkle paint  surrounding the inner area of the gauges, near the gauge faces, and painted this inner area a semi-flat black like original. I had sent my tac out to be repaired  and I was very pleased with the results. Since it has come back I have new wires installed and LED bulbs for long life.  I also replaced the original clock with a quartz movement.  I just finished installing the rally pac today and everything works as it should. . Very happy with the results.

Thanks all. Couldn’t have done it without the help from this forum. Special thanks to midlife for answering my wiring questions. :D
One other comment I forgot to mention.  When I purchased this rally pac the center had a hole drilled through it which was likely use to help attach it to the steering column. I actually filled the hole with short strand fiberglass and sanded it smooth just like I was doing bodywork on a car. It worked out great.

Yes, looks very good. Is your short strand fiberglass Duraglas?

Close, it’s called dynaglass. I have had great success with this product, with many different uses.

Dynatron Dyna-glass vs USC Duraglas. Same kind of stuff -- different vendor.
Both are epoxy based; both have kitty hair and both are waterproof.

You're right --- a lot of different uses. Good stuff.
