 you! I have been wanting to mount a gauge down on the right side of the steering column forever now. I am going to use the TC trim that goes around the ride control stuff.

yeah I got that EGT gauge from a friend for $20 bucks so I can't bring myself to spend $110 for one that matches

No, on the paint I am just going to rock it until I feel that I have nothing else to do and want  to do it all over again. But I might be able to get the bad spots out with wet sanding but I don't want to go to far before I am ready to re-paint. It is almost done should be just a few more weekends I hope

Awesome car, ya gotta love all those gauges. Where did you get that plate with all your switches on it? It says Jegs so I'm just assuming its a universal peice.

Man you guys are making me really want to move now. I was in Palm Beach Gardens for many years and have traveled the lovely Bee-Line Hwy going to Moroso many times.
