Does anybody know who these gages belong too, mainly the speedo, or who did the mod?? Looks very cool!.

That's one way of doing it. Is that a self adhesive metal sticker or vinyl?

Just need to find out WHO does these. I have a late 100MPH speedo w/gas gage, in nice condition, I'm thinking of doing like that to match my tach.

How about doing the tach to match the factory speedo? That would look very trick.  |

Would be cheaper for one big one than that and 3 small ones. But a cool idea though!  I sent NHSpeedo a e-mail, let see what they reply. Ted |

Thanks Dave, I've e-mailed them, lets see what they say. I'm really thinking about the mod, something different.

I had North Hollywood Speedo do my stock speedo to look like my Autometer Phantom gauges in my chop. They turned out awesome.

Very cool attention to detail, Geoff. And I dig the Speed Racer inspired horn button, too.
Sorry, I watched way too much of that cartoon in the '60s-'70s.

I love the HEB ROD. What a piece of work! It inspired me to do my VW ROD project. Still a long way off but will post when the body is tacked together. Still working on the chassis.

Wow... I love the steering wheel. It's like mine but wood!
It s a Racemark as it has the same Raid logo on the bottom spoke.
What about the horn button?

You mean this one? I need to clearance the adaptor so that it would fit in more. Just need the time at work to do it. The button is a little worn but not to bad, but it will go on.
