    Waiting on speedo, tach, and fuel gauges to arrive tomorrow. Just couldn't resist showing. Took a small amount of cutting on the OEM bezel, but... so far so good.

    Right on. Going to do Autometer gauges in the 71 nova similar to that.

    Remaining gauges were a no show yesterday. They still haven't shown up. I WAS planning on finishing my wiring tomorrow. Hopefully, I can turn the key to check all but fuel. I'm still waiting on compression fittings to finish that up, and for a starter to be delivered with e-fans.

    I hate having to wait on parts!

    Hopefully I can get this finished before summer (and hurricane season).

    I returned them b/c half the gauges were mechanical (not really what I wanted), and the tach and speedo were too small. Even made a cardboard template, thinking I'd fab an aluminum plate to mount it (don't laugh at scotch tape mock-up). Needed the 5" tach & speedo, and they don't make/carry them. Too much work into budget mod, and being that speedo is a mech one, I cannot use with my 4L60E. Here's some pics before I disassembled everything:
