The Voltmeter conversion.......how difficult was the conversion? I have a few extra '73-'87 voltmeters in my stash. Great idea.
The paint was located at a model bobbie store and I mixed a little white together to get the correct color, testing the color numerous times. I used a mask that I created. Check this out, I photo copied the face on a copy machine then I cut each number/dash out. Put it on the face and painted it with a model airbrush gun. Very slow.

Voltmeter conversion I found it online. It was not to bad to do. I used the original face so getting that lined up was the hardest thing to do. Always do two at a time and pick the better one you complete. Good luck!
