My Easter Sunday
I spent the day here re building 2 Tach dashes. One I bought, the other I made. I used the dash I bought for a template and cut the tin out for the other one.
I have ordered the LED bulbs and will be ordering a new face for one of them. The other one is gonna be a wall mount and a back up for the Ramp truck if I ever need one! I cleaned up the insides to get ready to paint silver to brighten them up like I did in the 68 & Ramp truck. All the gauges will be cleaned up and fresh paint on the needles.

Re: My Easter Sunday
I just notice, LMC doesn't offer the inner cluster piece. The black insert that goes inside the front bezel. The piece on the bottom that fits inside the cluster! Huh I thought they did.
They offer it in the Tachometer Conversion Kit though.

Re: My Easter Sunday
I got the 1 cluster cut out, wished I could put the ring around it like the factory one. Both are painted. Now to try and find the orange needle paint to start painting the gauges to look like new. While I'm waiting on the new Bezel and lens to get here.
I tested the old tach I bought and it works after some tweeking and adjustments. The needle was hitting up against the round dome. I took a small screw driver and helped it some to clear it.
