Glad you started a thread on your project. You know I like pics and bodywork!

That tach could be a Dixco. They can be found on Ford and Mopar also but are aftermarket.



They have em at The Parts Place for about two bills:

  But you have (2) great young people to help you! Keep those youngsters involved, and go to kinko's, and have name tags made up with their names on it. Label it Future Gear Heads...LOL...
  They will love you for it. My granddaughter when I worked on the race Cars. she was always there with me. She was (7) years old. She's 19 now, and in College. She also asked when I was going to work on the Cars? I always gave her a screw driver or wrench so she felt important to the team. They grow up too fast!
Happy Thanksgiving
