Isn't this cool or what!
 
I'm proud of my newest endeavor. Just got it hand painted and stenciled tonight
It used to have a gas pump symbol but I omitted it for a simpler look
What you guys think? Thinking I may do this for fun on othe gauges lol

Start flying to the gas station. Also half tank is the wight balance for my truck with me in it so side to side is balanced.

On the temp gauge you could put an explosion or something on the hot.

Nice little detail!

Make sure you post pics when you do the volcano on the temp gauge and lightning bolt on the amp meter and the old oil can pic on the pressure gauge :D

Re: Isn't this cool or what!
 
Now U can do 140 MPH.:lol:..... Like the fact that it has a trip meter

INSIDIOUS '86 12-10-2012 02:49 AM

Re: Isn't this cool or what!
 
I can get it up to 130mph with 308s spinning 5k so yah prob would go 145 but I have 373s now so Prob end up topping at 125 without the overdrive. But I need at least 50 more hp to make that speed come a lil sooner with less distance lol

Are the speedo and tach/gas gauge a direct swap? What I mean is...how much of a pain in the ass was it?

It's your choice, but I don't think you will live to retirement age.
