Re: 67 GMC super custom build
the smaller clock I had I sold here cause I did not like how it looked on top of the dash. I go this 67 chevy clock and decided it needed to be incorporated into the pad. it will have to be worked with foam and new vinyl but here is what it looks like in the pad. I just had to find a way to get a clock in this truck without it looking unoriginal and tasteful at the same time.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Today I finally finished up my power vent windows so my next problem was my power windows. I had already wired my 67 with a harness that used standard motors and stock style 3 way switch. I bought the kit from A1 electric (and its awesome) but it uses reverse polarity motors. I was stuck on this as I did not want to run relays and such as I am trying to keep it looking period correct and keeping the stock metal switches was a must. a Kit from Watson street works. http://www.watsons-streetworks.com/i...DF/L07W-25.pdf. it lets you use a 3 way switch and reverse polarity motors. Now my window woes are over!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
today I put the pad on the truck with the clock to see what it would look like. The pad will be the red color of the other pad when complete if I decide to go ahead with it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Here it is with the red pad. I am not sure what color for the clock yet. Im worried if I paint the housing red the black center of the clock will stick out too much buy itself rather than the clock as a whole. I am going to get this photo shopped before I do any paint. well see.

I'm late to the party but will be along for the ride here on out. Reading through your build has got my mind spinning with new ideas. Great attention to details my friend.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
It turns your headlights on when it's dark automatically. It also allows you to have your lights stay on for a short time after you shut off the vehicle for convenience.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got my sentinel switch finished up today. the dial sits behind the headlight switch in place of the factory bezel. when you move it, it tells the relay how long to keep the lights on between one minute and 10 seconds. This is one of my favorite upgrades because you can barely tell its there. headlight switch still looks stock pretty much.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I gotta get me one of those twilight sentinels that's awesome, I also gotta get me a variable delay wiper switch which is equally as useful.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Great build, I have been through all the posts a couple of times now. I especially like the idea of using the transistorized ignition to retain the factory distributor look. I had one on a 72 LT-1 and never had a problem with it.
Several years ago the GM dealer that my brother worked at was throwing away a blue box test kit that had a logo on it for transistorized ignitions. I guess they hadn't used it for several years. Because of the LT-1, my brother grabbed it, which turned out to be the GM test kit for the ignitions. Luckily I held onto it for all these years as I might "borrow" your idea and install one on mine.
