Here is my stock setup upgraded to LEDs. Looks kinda shiny but I used a matte clear so it is ok in sunlight. Ground off the stock wood sticker, sanded smooth, then gave it a brushed look with a green scotchbrite before clear coating. No tach but I think it looks cool.

I bought a Optima red top about 20 years ago. That battery has been in at least 8 cars and at one point sat in a shed for two years and didn't discharge at all, still in a daily driver. I bought another about 3 years ago that is still working great. Then last summer bought another that died after one winter, I think I left the dome light on for about 2 months, it was switched on when I put a new battery in the car. This battery would not take a charge even with the parallel trick. It was swapped out at the store no hassle, did not even ask for a receipt. I think they are great unless you completely drain them, that seems to ruin them. Our local auto parts store will swap them out without question for 3 years.

I have never driven one but own a '70 coupe. How sad is that? :shit:
