10851CVC 10 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 Here are the dimensions for the gauges: 3-3/8inch speedometer and tachometer. 2-1/16in gauges. This was a 6 piece kit I got from Speedhut. The kit also included all the necessary wiring and sensors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10851CVC 10 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 Not sure yet, however I dont want to just drill holes and put LEDS in them because I am pretty sure they will blind me at night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10851CVC 10 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Just the cost of the gauges from speedhut. Everything else was either a stock part that got modified or something laying around the garage (like the plexi-glass). The total time I have into the build would be about 15 hours because of all of the sanding to remove all of the fake wood grain from the front outer panel on the gauge cluster. I guess another cost would be the single can of clear coat for the front outer panel. Edited September 4, 2010 by 10851CVC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10851CVC 10 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 Saw these at the local A-Zone. They look vintage/old school thought about using them for the blinkers. This would probably be the easy way out/solution for the blinkers. [ATTACH]7345[/ATTACH] IMPSTRZ8 and I were discussing the possibility of the some how making the inner ring of the two outer gauges light up. Like a hidden halo in the gauge tunnel.

zach69grande 25 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 very cool. that's what i plan on doing with mine - how did you get the wood grain off the part? i did the clock side and the door panels with scrapers, heat guns, various chemicals.. nothing seemed to really work without dubious amounts of elbow grease...

10851CVC 10 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 RWCstang-I do not have a MAch 1 hood scoop, I don't think I will be getting one anytime soon. I used a wire brush on a drill and sand paper to remove the fake wood grain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10851CVC 10 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Here is a small update on my gauge project. I started to build a flat panel to put inside of the the center AC vent to hold my last two gauges. The first picture is from the the back and shows the small rectangle shaped cage attached to the panel to support the panel in the dash pad. The second picture is from the front. (The gauge panel will be eventually be wrapped in a fabric with similar texture to the dash panel, It will NOT stay in its raw form) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burn 14 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 Very cool! Was it easy splicing into the original harness to make the connections? How are you going to hook up the speedometer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
