Looks good, redoing guage clusters must be popular this time of year, I just did mine also!

And the thunder rolls.... oh wait 67chevy1series already told you

so bought some florescent can paint. used some dull white paint from checkers but it sucked so i redid it with white engine paint for that added shine and bought a new face plate from lmc ( surprisingly it fit perfect )

I'm in the process of redoing mine too. Added a Factory Tach, Vacuum Gauge, New Lens and Painted the Needles. Just waiting for a top tin to assemble it all.

Harry, your tin is done and will be on the way soon, Les

Are you going with the white gauges or are you going with white and black? Nice job
