This was in the middle of installing. I plan on putting a shift light where the now non functional factory temp gauge is

I think you should maybe put the clock back and then put the rpm's guage over the temp side of things.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Not that it has anything to do with the thread...  but the underside of your car is amazing!  I get sad when I see cars like that on here.  I bought my car in WI at 17...  it went through a few winters before I got it so it's coated with either undercoat or surface rust underneath.  Needs a bit of work...  I'm so jealous!  Jealous of the T56 as well BTW.  Looks great, good work.

Well, there's not going to be any clock going back on this panel with the hole cut for the round tach. My radio has a clock on it anyway. I did it this way so I didn't have to install a fuel level sending unit for another gauge and so that I didn't have to mess with the charging system because of the way the amp light is wired in. To have the tach and speedo next to eachother it would have taken alot more effort to do to make it all work. All the dummy lights work on the dash this way, the only thing that doesn't is the factory temp gauge wich is why I was thinking of having a shift light.
