72BLAZERDUDE · 05-09-2003, 08:33 AM

Its a winner. I was going to do that but I am biting the bullet and going for the full Autometer Ultra Lite setup. My speedometer was trashed anyways.

kaycee · 05-09-2003, 10:13 AM

For my opinion so here it is .Looks real good if your doing the Harley theme, buuuuttt I still like the tach that is to go there instead

**BIG ORANGE** · 05-09-2003, 10:47 AM

Yea I bought a decal kit off ebay and took some compound and removed the letter's from the lens and then painted the inner bezel white,removed all the gauges and painted the outter ring of the gauges white because the decals don't cover the whole gauge then mixed up a soapy solution and sprayed on back side of decals after removing backing paper and put in place,use a tissue to remove excess soapy/water.One other thing that helped, take the the decal that goes on the speedometer and the gas gauge area and with a razor blade make slit down the center at the bottom and the decals we slip right over the needles. I did'nt have't remove any needle. As far as the tac is concerned I've only got one tac cluster left and I'm using it on project Orange,besides that center pod was sceaming for that HD decal.lol
I spent yesterday preping all the interior,using a 95 chevy seat I've had for several years'gray and graphite and all the other panels,dash pad,arm rest,stering wheel,visors will be graphite in color.I'll keep you guy's post on the progress!
