Best cal-look tachometer ?
Jon:
I agree with you on the glove box trim, it ties the dash into one unit I feel. Im still not sure about loosing the trim om my dash since my car is black... and things can easily look a bit boring if you loose all the contrast. Either way im going to cover the "speaker grills" with padded vinyl, and the same with the glove box door, while retaining the trim in either chrome or black, I’m hoping for a subtle cushion effect out of this. I also have a NOS empi dash "top" Im going to use. I hope to mimic the dashes the muscle cars of that era had ;-)

Though one, on the one hand I do like the VDO Cockpit style meters, but then again a huge "overstated", in-ya-face, Autometer Monster Tach is also cool I think! ::)
For now I run (when car was on its feet! Now they gather dust in my garage...) two VDO gauges in a pod, beneath the ashtray, paired togehter with an "old" Porsche 912 (?) Tachometer, slightly angled. Whenever the car comes back to life (any day know, as I've said for the past 2 years), I was thinking about having the indicator-lights in the tach to function as shiftlights... But I'm no electrician though...
For something OT, but dash oriented. I'm also thinking about adding an repro/retro "Becker Mexico" stereo, gotta have the music for those cruising moments... ;) (sorry for OT)

Compared to the 70s Sun tach I wanted to use:

Shure thing. Not the best shot though, but it gives you an idea:
