What holds the gauges in and got a picture of the front side of it?

tvblazer78 · 01-30-2009, 07:19 PM

Here is one in the works, I had to fiberglass the back to make it work. I have it in paint now and most of the wiring finished. I will post pics soon.

Yep your right clock and air ride. But I do not have AC.

northern 85 · 02-01-2009, 09:55 PM

That black tach would look great in an 85 swb up north!

tvblazer78 · 03-27-2009, 09:35 PM

I just finished up my dash and put it in, I looks like everything is working like it should. I was going to start it up and test everything, but I did not want to make everyone made at me, I just have headers and thats it so I will test it in the morning..

Here are some pics..
