I just got done installing just the tach on a 79 setup with the 130 mph speedo,

i hooked it up to see how the color and brightness matched,

the gauge faces stock light up with green numbers,

the color and brightness level is dead on match,
absolutely perfect match,i couldnt beleive it looking at them side by side,

these should look great in anyones interior for keeping a stock apearance at night

Hey,V8kilr.......... This is about what I want, but it would be cooler, if the top part/set of the letters(rotary powered mazda), where hunched over.... like this example, but more of a curve.....

No, but I am he person, complaining "I am hungry", "I am bored", and "Can I drive? Since you dont know how to go any faster than 55 MPH" I like goin down to my friends farm, but only when he drives, since last time, we went, he did about 105-115 all the way there..... I cant stand to be in a car, for a long time, goin SUPER SLOW, on the highway......... With speed, I am fine If I had it my way, I would drive my car(if it ran) up there, just to try to help/check it out....... But life sux, then you die................... LATERZ, Andrew

my windshield wiper control arm like to pop off every once and a while.
im trying to fix it but not having much luck

you'll fit in down here. this is the vampire capitol of the world. remember that story of the "vampire" kids that killed that guy in florida some years back. yep, they were from here. murray ky was also the headquarters for hawaiian tropic before it went under. i just found that out the other day. a bunch of good ol' boys started it up.

anyway, i know what you mean about the eyes. i was like that when i stocked at kroger and was there sundown to sunrise. walk out and you feel like you could burn up. of course we're going to have to cure that so we can work when we can see the car.
