I built a new dash

I can't wait to get the rest of the parts I need to finish the interior of my truck so I can install this, but I'm one step closer.
In my low buck tradition I bought a cluster from teeitup, a shiny new cheapie bezel from RPP, and a gen II camaro tach that found at a local boneyard.
It was more difficult finding the tach than I thought it would be. After looking in about 6 yards and not finding any that worked I came across this busted-up wad of gauges on the floor of about a 75 camaro.
Five bucks later, and I was out the gate. I did a board search and found some helpful info on installing the tach. Armed with my trusty dremel tool I did it in about three hours.
I used brasso to polish the lens, and to buff the silkscreening from the backside. The inside is now painted bright white, and all of the bulbs are new. The bulbs cost me twice what the tach did!
Total cost about seventy five bucks. Thanks everyone for your help.
