Default cool upgrade

So I'm on the final few parts of my year long rebuild of my 81 4spd car. installed VBP suspension Performance plus kit, new seats, paint (midnite blue) tires/wheels/ all new brake system, full edelbrock performer package (heads, cam, intake, carb) On and On $$$$$$$$ and more$$$$$. anyways I was installing a 140 mph speedo plate and decided to paint the needles inda-glow orange. looked good so did all the guages like that. It was very easy with a small brush and gave me a chance to clean up all the parts before putting it all back together.
it looks just like the auto-meter guages now and easy to see.
