Well ..................... Hello to Page 34 of McMurphy's Frozen Garage Build .......................................................

Mr UPS is my friend.
I was here on the computer making the above post, when I heard a noise at my front door.

Lo and behold !!

It is like Christmas, in Janurary!!
It is also official, I have a guage cluster that cost more than the entire truck surrounding it !!!

Here you may be able to see the one thing that ultimately sold me on these guages, the way they look at night !! Just the lettering and the needles light up.... ooooooo soooo smoooth !

If that one does not show up well on your 15" monitors, then hopefully this one in red (my thumb over the flash) will be good enough for you to see.

I just loved the font style, the moon tipped needles, and the classic 30-40s era style of the look they have! Every time I see these I think of the movie "Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow". Kinda cheesy I know but that retro-alternate-scifi stuff really appeals to me sometimes
