just noticed that while the gauges are 70 style, they eliminated the clock reset knob and the trip reset knob; clean but...
...but those plugs scream "lazy".
They're probably original or hand-made faces with custom aftermarket mechanisms in them. That would explain the backward-swinging volt gauge (major fail), 200MPH speedometer range, and missing second hand, which is another huge fail--why even have the enormous "seconds" scale/minimized "hours" scale
with no second hand? I realize this exercise is more about appearance than function, as is any of these rolling disasters by Troy or Chip Foose, but those hard-to-read dark-red needles would drive me insane. I monitor gauges by needle position with my peripheral vision; those would make that almost as impossible as it is with digital gauges.
The devil is in the details.
Speaking of which, did anyone else notice the subtle touch in the bezel paint? It's "grained" so to speak... the metallic has faint horizontal brush lines or "grain" to it. That's freakin'
beautiful. Hard to believe they'd mess that up with those crappy-looking reset-knob plugs. Overall I like the look, but they didn't quite nail it as a functional work of art in my worthless opinion.
