I'm Awesome
Hi Daly,
Try getting on Fabo. A lot more friendly atmosphere, and lots of fabo guys n gals also own B, C, E body cars and D and W series trucks.
I love the speedhut gages, and was all set to go with these in a custom panel for my 67 cuda. I was going to lay it out like a 68 charger, but lucked out on a decent dash frame, and glove box door , and decent stock cluster for my cuda, and ponied up the bucks for all the chromed plastics.
I wasnt happy with the stock backlighting for the gages and the many dim spots in the stock cluster so i bought some peel and stick flexible led strip lighting in green. 12v #5630 led and lined the gage bucket. More uniform lighting and its dimmable down to 7v. This stuff is cheap. I payed $7 off ebay for 5 meters of this stuff. Only used 3 feet inside the cluster.
I ended up restoring my dashboard along with color changing my interior from dark blue to black. I modified my ammeter gage to volts with guts out of a sun voltage gage, and put a fault light in the gage. Also ditched the vibrating points voltage limiter for the gage panel and made one out of a solid state nte960 semiconductor chip.
My project evolved from starting with a fairly stripped shell with a title that i was going to make an oval track racecar for the street ala chrysler "kit kar" , to making it a restored looking sleeper as i was able to aquire needed parts to actually restore it. I love the stock resto look, but with all the mods for performance hidden in plain sight.
Even going so far as to paint the exterior 1967 daffodil yellow, with black interior. Body colored steelies with dog dish hubcaps. Low key is the key
