Default white face gauges

Finished my winter project a little early, it might be to much for some but I like the look with a white exterior plus I can now read the gauges at night

Jon, easy, took about an hour a gauge, even repainted the needles flor. orange. Just remember to label each wire and its position on the gauge before disconnecting.

Default Sweeeeet!

Now all you need is a polished steering wheel for the full on bling-bling effect!! But then again, that's just me.

Nice Work!

Jon, you have to have a small tool, flat screwdriver, awl, pick, etc. pry the rings off, don't break any needles, put back in same order, rings, seals, glass etc. A pint of stout ale is not recommended before starting though. The books say if you remove the speedometer needle, it has to be recalibrated... I have not found this to be the case.
