finally after several months i got my gauges back for the t/a they did a group buy last February that i got into and bam here they are i did change something from the factory tho i replaced the amps gauge with volts, updated quartz clock movement, updated tech and refinishing the rest of the cluster looks amazing the clock set is kinda tough to adjust but it'll work.  Mike Mancini from inst. spec does a good job

Hey Pete :wave: just a question buddy.  How come you have a 72-74 Speedo in your cluster ?  The clock has the adjuster knob in the right place but the adjuster for a 70-71 Speedo should not come out of the front of the gauge ...... just thought i would ask buddy :2thumbs:

Nice to see another update. When you get it done let mus know. I think it would be nice to get them both together. We could make the trek to that big Mopar show you were talking about. I'm always game for a road trip.

Sorry to point that out as not correct for your car, i see you are going to so much trouble with everything and looks like perfection is the goal, so i thought i would mention it..... :dunno:
But everything so far is way cool :2thumbs:
