1976 Cessna 172M lower and upper panel kit. Upper panel kit also fits C172N, C172P and Hawk XP aircraft (layouts vary slightly, see layouts section for details. Note that the image above was edited in Photoshop to put an Apollo stack as the radio faceplates were removed on this aircraft for faceplate restoration. The Airspeed indicator is from a Cessna 210 and was re-screened by Precision Dial of Kalamazoo Michgan (they do GREAT work!). The orginal glovebox door was retained in this installation as it was in good shape.
