Here are some Pictures... It is made from a 3/4" solid piece of Walnut with all VDO white face gauges... (When I when back to get some walnut for the doors, I could not get any that matched as well as the Rosewood, which is very expensive.) I even did the firewall... I did the doors later and used the rosewood. One thing you have to remember is that all of the controls are made for a 1/8" or less metal dash so I had to countersink the back for the switches very, very carefully... The dash actual sits back under more that the original dash. I had a Speedo shop cut my Speedo cable to about 2 feet and add a GM connector. The connect for the sensor is under the hood up from the grease and oil. The gas tank sending unit hade to be cut way down to fit... I made it work correctly on empty and it is off on full but what the hell. I think if I could get a 7 1/2 depth tank from an older Midget it would work better. The Speedo is very easy to calibrate... It has a test mode and drive 1 mile. |

The windup crank was when gas was so high. It was fun to watch people as you drove down the road and at stoplights... |
