He had the parts, I just put my touch on it

Beautiful work! What did it look like before? ( I assume you restored it) Also, is the speed warning the white needle on the speedo. I guess that's adjustable to whatever speed you want? Please forgive my ignorance, but I've only heard of those and never actually seen one before.

I did some work to it, (had some help with the speedwarning speedo, Thanks PT)but not really restored, most of the parts were/are NOS.
Yes that is the speedwarning needle, and yes it is adjustable.

We all learn something on here everyday!!!! That is what makes this place so GREAT!!!

tcb-1 · 11-19-2008, 10:01 PM

**gulp** now that is nice!! I wondered if that bezel was new too. BUT NOS?!!!!

you definitely made someone proud!

**too much stuff** · 11-19-2008, 11:28 PM

NICE!! I think rob would like it. He sure likes the nos stuff. Is the PC NOS also?

The PC was sent to me by Robert under the impression that is was NOS, but after a close inspection I am about 99.9% sure that it is a repop from Brothers trucks. Brothers PC has the correct GM part # on it, and some folks take that as NOS, but they are not NOS.

Is this thing the bomb or what!!! I have seen byrds work in the past, but he really out did himself. Haven't got it yet, but cannot wait.
