Dash paint

Spent the weekend striping and painting the dash. I also painted the battery box cover. Nothing like a good paint job.

Looks like a professional paint job. Good work.

Looks good!

Are those factory gauges?

 

8) :drool:

 

The speedometer is original the rest are aftermarket. The fuel gauge is Auto Meter and the others are Stewart Warner 12 volt. I hate the temp gauge it has low readings. I almost max the gauge at normal operating temp.

 

What's the deal with the 2 round "thingies" in between the gauges? I thought they were supposed to be some kind of warning lights. I see you painted over yours like mine were when I got it. I wouldn't think they'd light up very well with paint on them. Do you know what they're for?

 

Those are metal cups. The original gauge lights fit into them. The light didn't shine out the front of the gauge panel. It lite up the back side. (If that make cense?) All of the gauges didn't have lights. They had sight windows. The cups lights back lite all the gauges.

My speedometer doesn't have a light. I made metal plates in them so I could put newer lights, to light up the speedo gauge. The small ones below them is my green turn signal lights.

 

Found some more pictures. I added then to the album.
