Pope, that's cool... the sun really doesn't bother the gauges with glare as one would think, it's easy on the eyes.

What I'd like to know is how you got all those appliances to fit/work on the Spider? :shock:

Lookin' very nice indeed, one thing though is the fuel gauge and the temp gauge installed top side up? It looks different on my car. :?

i think they went to needles swinging from the bottom with the '78 model year, or maybe the '77. anyway, the gauges indeed may not match yours depending on how old they are.

looks like pope has some mixture of gauges, new and old.

All original gauges except I added the oil pressure gauge. I just dont trust the idiot light alone.

I built a trailer like Ron has and haul the appliances behind me along with the bar-b-que grill. Ultimate tailgater!!!!!!!

I am awaiting my trim rings for my gauges. Replacing the black ones with chrome stainless covers. Since everything is apart. I decided to paint my speedo and tach gauge needles. Some may like it. Some may not. I thought I'd show you what it looks like just to give you an idea of how good or terrible it turned out so you didn't have to experiment on yours. I used yellow model master enamel paint. Here's before and after. By the way. I like it. :lol:

Very Ferrariesque (is that a word?). Very nice, indeed.
