Default Autometer Electric or mechanical speedo?
How does an electric speedo replacement work in a C3? I bought the AM mechanical speedo but should have I gotten the electric? Does a sending unit attach to the trans or what?

Thanks for the info link. Decided to just keep the mechanical that I already purchased. Made the templates yesterday.

almost cut my hand off cleaning it up with a razor blade.














Onward to finishing the interior

WTH, its soft plastic, use a piece of fine sandpaper. Nice job on the gauges

Anyone can use "fine sandpaper" but it takes a real man to use a new, sharp razor blade
