restored gauge cluster
So I am as giddy as a kid in a candy store.
Board member TBone1964 was kind enough to accept my old beat up instrument panel and take on the task of restoration and adding a period correct electric clock to the left side for me. Received it today and just had to share how happy I was to have it in my hands. Thanks again Tom, your work is much appreciated.

Re: restored gauge cluster
It looked like this one and it was not a mechanical cluster as it is now.
It was pretty sad looking.

Re: restored gauge cluster
That's a thing of beauty! Sure hope that I can get the '66 gauge cluster that I bought on ebay looking that good.

Re: restored gauge cluster
I looked at a lot of clocks and if I remember correctly this is out of a 60-62 corvette.
I do reserve the right to be wrong though.

I debated about going ahead and putting in a set of Autometer or Dolphins but this unit was less money and I like the look more. I may get a Tach for the other side some day....But I would really like to have a Compass in the other hole.
