On a productive day quite a bit. Not much slag since I weld MIG & TIG, not stick. Dust, quite a bit..everything is covered in it. Look on the floor here...

I made a bunch more grinder dust last night. Man that was a fun day. Spilled some brake fluid on the floor too. Drank a few beers...

On installing the autometer guages, do you have to get a new harness? Or just modify the dash harness?

Wow, Some of those look wild!
I'm a bone stock guy.... I guess as I get older I want to keep the look that I remember the first time I ever saw/rode in a Corvette

Believe me... when was a Kid I modified every car I owned.
And I am proud to say that in the last 30 years I have owned 50+ cars
All were American made V8's with the exception of an 86' Toyota 4WD PU truck (great little runt)

A lot of nice work though.....

I got my Hydro today, so all the grime that was on it, is now on my floor, along with a good helping of parts cleaner. I'll clean that all up this weekend.

Depending on the gauge, some may rewquire a different sending unit. In some other cases, the wiring will be different. But, also depending on your gauges...you very well could utilize most of the factory wiring. Obviously if your car had all the gauges you're installing.

I think I see where you're going with this. I should have figured. I guess that's a great idea...I mean, you have to shower anyway right?
