Different angle on Camaro tach - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck has the base, 3 gauge cluster installed in it (which is the original). I kinda like the look, especially with the integral blinkers, but I wanted a tach. So I decided to do a switchero: Camaro tach in the right hand opening, reworked fuel gauge in the center opening with the integral blinkers still in place.

To facilitate this, I'm changing all the indicator lamps and the blinkers to LED (I could use the incandescent, but it seems kind of silly...). I am also ditching the printed circuit.

So here's where I am at:
Ebay junk cluster:

NOS takeout tach from a '79 Z28

Opening it up:

Soon to be cut out center section

Repainted fuel gauge needle

Test fit, opening is not finished (cordless dremel battery died...)
