Next update...
 
Kevin Tully at Hot Rod Chassis was not happy with the rat's nest of wiring behind the dash and the boring sweeper gauge. I removed the dash face and Kevin gutted the wiring. Autometer graciously came on board with what he had planned....

NO TURNING BACK!!!

We received a full cluster of Ultralite II gauges

Kevin cut a filler piece and bonded it to the dash face...

After a little time on the mill, we could mock them up to see the awesomeness...

Kevin did an amazing job wiring the dash, and I'll post another pic of that later, but here is the finished product...

Hope you have a blast! My biggest regret is when I had to give up my spot a few years ago.

That Dash looks fantastic, good luck at OUSCI!

Cool car that isn't a Camaro. :D

And yes that dash came out great. Not easy to meld old with new and pull it off.

Rick D 11-03-2013 05:33 AM

Looks great Robert!!! It's fun updating the old isn't it!!!

Its going to be weird for you being at SEMA and not taking pictures. Car looks good Rob, you should have a blast. You've broken my rule of no major changes before a big event, really bit me last year. Love the car, good luck!
