no drywall.. I think you are talking about the turn signal housing - there's thin plywood there, and there is some silver overspray on it, so it doesn't look wooden.
It's a choppey job, but it was fun.. Maybe one day I'll make a whole new dash cluster, and try a different style out.

It isn't the price so much as these have been advertised as being for sale but nobody who wants one has been able to get one for the past year.

I think the price IS a factor.. 1100 - ~500 for gauges, you are at 600.. so thats 600 for a piece of plastic they have injection-molded (assuming thats how), and with a pretty face plate.. The face plate appears to be flat, not rounded and contoured like the original. Of course, it won't match the passenger side. So for like 600, I'm not too impressed with a piece of plastic and some painted/stickered face plate.. Just my opinion though - one reason why I did my own.. And plus, it gave me something to do at night.
