Interesting instrument panel substitution! I guess I would not have figured the planview curvature of the coupe and sedan to be the same at the base of the windshield. I always felt that the coupe panel was just quirky but, somehow in the sedan context it is really cool. I happen to like the original panal but perhaps that is only in comparison to the later Sports Sedan one which is usually brown, has unsightly gaps and reeks of the 1970s. My dad has a '76 coupe parts car so maybe I'll consider swapping that in.

As far as planned mods go, I have some Shankle suspension bits that I'll throw on and I just purchased an old wood Momo Montecarlo steering wheel for it. I also plan to slam it and put some modern 17" rims (preferable TSWs) in a resto-mod fashion. I found an NOS Euro front stainless bumper on eBay Italy which should take some weight out of it.
