Hey, now there's an interesting idea! Looks nice! By the way, how did you turn the speedo cluster blue?

thanks, the gauges are not completely finished yet, the housing is a lil flimsy so im going to foolaround with supporting it from behind 2mor0 and cleaning it up a bit and i had a couple spare speedos so i took one apart (its not too hard as long as yer carefull) masked off some sections and painted it, about 1 hour to do speedo approx

get her done, looks good...now hurry up so dave can get his vic in!lol

[bilmarq]

ahah im working on it, i need to do 1 wheel bearing,weld 2 pots on the frame, and both rockers, about 1 days work if i had all my material and im thinking that the quatre panel can prolly wait till i have the car on the road

Thats an interesting spot for the gauges. But couldn't you have used something else instead of that nice steering wheel cover.

all u need to do is get some stick on molding shit and go around the inside of that vent to hide the edges
