Is your fuel gauge fairly accurate and what gauge number did you use?

Looks gorgeous. Red stripe is nice touch. I can think of better ideas for the clock hole though but im sure u has much easier access now to swap it if desired.

Thx for sharing.

So are the small torq head screws just for looks, or are they holding anything in place. Really looks great and finishes the dash off the way it should be. Thanks for sharing and giving us something else for our TO DO LISTS. How about some more details, pics. Great job.

Is the tach broken or are the gauges not working? It looks like it's at idle.

In any case they look nice. I like the red stripe.

Do you have any work log pics and how too. Looks great.
Any pics further back?

I am going blue outside with a black interior, and was looking at ways to bring a little blue to the inside.

If you can afford it you can get blue or any other color gauges you want from speedhut.com.

Are these the 2 1/16" gauges? They look bigger.

Tach needle on my '80 always sits +/- 1,000rpm when the car is off. Must be something in the wiring. Would be great to get this in 'kit' form with new speedometer/tach cluster. I've looked at the Dakota Digital kit and that seems like the kit. Any info appreciated!
