I am having light boxes 3D printed for the back of my dash.

Parking this here for later:

Had these made: light boxes to go behind the cut outs in the dash, they also pin through the switches themselves.

Those light boxes are a good idea.

So you pull the label from the stock ones to put in these and replace the janky stock/replacement boxes that just stick in the holes?

Light boxes are very cool and would like to see more photos @Grendel .

That's pretty slick, better than black tape that's for sure

Sorry, no - These mount behind my dash, which has the names cut into it: Wiper. Headlights, etc.

Well, my plate for this was supposed to be Veteran's here in NH (they normally have a V) V8 CJ8.,,, but they came 8CJ8 instead,

So I went and got CJ8.

A bit more wiring and plumbing and it's done.

We've had this convo... I was bummed when I didn't get the V8CJ8 plates.... as I said, Vet's plates normally come with the V already.
BUT I like CJ8 better.

So I know it's goofy, but I could not get my head around a modern looking LS in the engine bay.

So we did this:

Final plumbing and wiring happening... and we swapped from a gen 4 Magnum Vintage Air Unit, to a Gen 5 as they're smaller and better.

What about decals?

That’s a really nice build! You’ve put time and thought into this and the result speaks for itself.

I have a custom graphics package in mind. They will be fully reflective.
