69Tool 16 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Hello, It has been a while since I have been around. I hope everyone is doing well. Just thought I would post a picture of my latest project. I have an extra instrument cluster so I thought I would mess around with it and see how it would turn out. I repainted it and then changed the gauges to white, installed LED's for the backlights, and then replaced the lenses. Let me know your thoughts. My car is still in storage for the rest of the winter, but I am anxious to get this in the car and see how it looks. 2 Ernestgaig and 69NC reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69Tool 16 Report post Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks! My car has white interior so I think it will look great with the white gauges. There is actually a how-to that comes with the gauge stickers (Scott Drake). Basically, you apply a small amount of water/soap to the back of the sticker so you can slide it on the gauge, and then apply pressure to squeegee out the excess water. It took me about an hour to apply the white gauge stickers plus the time to paint etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69Tool 16 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 You were making good time down the Hiway ;) I didn't notice that until you pointed that out! Guillaume69, are those in km/hr by chance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69Tool 16 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 I have no idea why all of those thumbnails are in my last post...or in this one below...Anyone know why they are there??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guillaume69 150 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 Yep, that's km/h. 100 in a 55 would be fairly risky on that highway. Lots of State Troopers in that area. Instead, that's more like a conservative "62-ish", in mph. Good eye!! ;-) G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
