They are from a 78 Corvette. I still have to buy a speedo yet and that will go to 140 mph. This is just roughed in so far, I have to do some trimming on the guages corners to get it to fit in the bezel better. So what do you guys think?

Should look very nice when finished. Are they going to be easy to make work?

Its going together really nice so far. Just have to drill holes in the tin. And all the guages are electrical, so I had to use the tin fill in on the ammeter and temp guage part on the other side. Tach fits pretty good, but its flat on the bottom so I will have to make something to fill it in. I have to make my own printed circuit though to go to all the guages and yet use the factory lamps inside the bezel. But the speedo is hard to find. Still checking around for them.

For the speedo, you might call Mid America Designs. A guy my dad works with is good friends with the owner. The number is 1.800.500.8388

www.madvet.com is their site. They don't make those speedos new that I see, but he may have one, or know where to get one.

Good luck.
