Moved my tach today

Figured out where to mount my tach today. I had it on the column but installed a van tilt & moved it in a bit & the tach wouldnt fit there anymore. What do you think?

Looks good but what about A/C. But I must say for mine I need it fight infront of my face because with the LT1 in Low Buck I ped that thing on a regular basis

AC is gone so I figured it would work as good there as any place.

Corn, where did you get the engine-turned aluminum dash? Thats _exactly_ the look I'm going for when I get my new dash from Ryan Hubbard. Looks awesome!

Looks good, Keeps the dash from looking cluttered. And I like that gauge bezel too.

Re: Moved my tach today

Good spot. Is that a Crager center cap for the horn button?

Re: Moved my tach today

Why did you choose that spot over the factory location?

I hear ya. I am still trying to figure out how I can put it up over the column without cutting the cluster. I was just messing around out in the garage yesterday & thought Id see what it looked like in the AC ball hole.
