Got my gauge put together tonight:

Before

After

What do you all think?

gkesseru · 10-26-2010, 10:16 PM

Was this a tach kit? From where?

Cisco714 · 10-26-2010, 10:29 PM

That looks pretty darn good. I imagine it was kinda tedious.

Strut · 10-26-2010, 10:30 PM

No it was not.... I bought a original tach guage and rebuilt it....

Just got to say what an outstanding job, that looks great...........later

tantrumpipeline · 10-26-2010, 10:56 PM

so are you planning on doing this for others? may be worth while depending on how much time you took to do this and what it'd sell for after etc, I would probably be interested but with black or paint matched to mine where the yellow is. Looks great, I was looking at the autometer behind the cluster but this is way nicer

swamp rat · 10-26-2010, 11:04 PM

Your answering right when i was typing, thanks for the info..

Looks real nice. One of these days...one of these days.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-26-2010, 11:57 PM

Very nice job! Where did you get the white gauge decals? I'm leery of getting them off ebay.

Strut · 10-27-2010, 07:48 AM

Thanks guys....

The guage overlays came from WhiteGuages.net
http://whitegauges.net/products/1967...ce-Gauges.html

They have other colors too....

raycow · 10-28-2010, 12:49 PM

Strut, did the circuit board come from WhiteGauges too? If not, please tell where.

Hey Strut, looks great! I used whitefacegauges.com as well. My are all white. It was very easy to do, their website had how to videos that helped me. I could have done it faster but I wanted to take my time and do it right.
