OK.... wadda ya think of my latest expenditure of excess energy?
I don't wanna hear any crap about "rice", guys.... these damn gauges are BURIED in the dash! The white face should make them easier to see. Plus they now match my Autometer tach that lives on the edge of my dashboard.
I still have to polish the lenses and re-paint the center and metal dividers. The needles will be flouresent red.
The hole in the center of the clock trim is so I can adjust the time with a thin screwdriver. I swapped in a quartz VDO clock that I found new on e-Bay for $21.
I pulled apart an extra set of gauges and ground off the lip around the edge so the gauge faces would sit flat on the photo copy bed at Staples. I had the image reversed and printed on glossy paper. I anticipate a small hassle trying to get the paper gauge faces to conform to the slightly dished face of the gauges. I'll post the results after I finish.
