Worked on the interior and dashboard. First the dash board gauge cluster was a separate piece molded in chrome. Good lLrd that is altogether wrong. So it went into a bleach bath, rinsed and repainted. Now it looks like a proper gauge cluster. Painted flat black, hand painted trim with Molotow chrome and white artist pencil to bring out the gauge details.
With steering wheel and dashboard gauge tachometer. I looked at several photos of where it's suppose to be located - some in front of steering wheel, others smack in middle of dashboard top. Looks better in middle IMO.
Interior complete with the exception of side lamps behind the front seats rear panels that's shown in several photos. The little details AMT didn't pick up on. Just got to figure out how and what to use. I had thought of using a hole punch from thin plastic from those take out containers and paint them in sort of an off whiteish color.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

That interior and dash look GREAT Tom!!! Very nicely done buddy.
As for the courtesy light bezels..... Model Car Garage makes a bolt head, nuts and washers PE sheet. The washers can be used for bezels like you're after.
Here's the Model Car Garage part number: MCG-2279
The sheet:
I used the washers for the trim bezel on my interior door trim panels and they turned out great. Just a dot of white in the center after you've got "the washer" glued into place and you've got your courtesy lights:

That lever looks so mean. Bit of a steam punk design.

I found something that will work perfect for courtesy lights. Robbed them from a mule Boston Invader kit. Next to create a template to place them in exact spot.
Here are the courtesy lamps I'm going to use...
