Default Refinished guage cluster

I have to thank Bob Mosely for providing me with a new speedo decal. Bob it looks great. Thanks and I didn't have any trouble getting the bugger apart, whew.

Default Fantastic job......

Great looking instrument cluster.

Tell us more about what and how you managed to do such a job.....

On the decal..... how does it work..... is it applied on the inside portion of the glass..... did you keep the original glass or replaced it.....

Are the gauges functional........ short of connecting a 6 volt battery to the gauges and frying them......how do you test them.....

Be prepared for more questioning on the 16th at Gracie's.......

Default all the questions ... cheeez

Hi Bob,

I will bring a note book for all the questions....will it be an open book test?

Here are couple more shots of my progress...juuuuuuuust about finished..
A little bit to do with the wiring and voila....a great paper weight....

things are looking up.....as mentioned in an earlier thread...once I get the bugger to run I will tell you all the misshaps....will make a good how not to do it thread on combining/rebuilding flatheads....the first one is always the hardest.

Hi Mike
Glad it worked out, looks good. Those speedometers can be tricky. But what happened to your fascia plate stripes, they are very faint. I don't know if you were aware but I also have decals for those and the fact I'm having a senior's moment I can't remember if I actually sent you a set, but I don't think so.
