I'm trying to match the dash layout in my FC to the stock stuff as best as I can, while making everything aftermarket and for drag racing.





Like I won't even be using a factory dash but I want the same "feel"





The tach is internally mounted to the dash (not a big p-clamp type)





Is it FC3S TYPE COOLNESS? Or no?

PS, yes I need oil pressure. I'll get it, but that will be it.





RPM, Volts, Coolant temp, Oil temp, Oil press.

 

I'll make a sexy time with yor stuff!

 

unless they light up stock FC red i vote nay, unless you fund my big toe research.

Red neons would do the trick!

 

i like electrical goodies.. thank Colin you just made me realize i also need to buy all that junk for the repu.. and here i was thinking there would only be about $2k more left to make it roadworthy..

 

you can replace the 194 bulb inside each piece with an amber 194 bulb. it works... but its cheesy cause the letters arent actually amber in the daylight





that was about the toughest part

 

and you can get led 194 bulds from autolumination.com and superbrightleds.com

 

i guess if you really wanted you could get "transparent amber" model car paint and take the gauge apart and paint the lettering transparent amber so during the day it would look amber and then when lit at night it would be red.



i actually have a few things of model car paint that i think would work lol, i could send you the name and paint number/code if you want.



the tach sorta messes with me in that pic cause part f the hash marks are cut off so it doesnt look evenly round. otherwise it looks like it should be nice, good choice. i went with stewart warner gauges, i cant remember how close they are but i think i remember looking for close to stock ones, that was like 3-4 years ago haha

or you could get the old school hks gauges that look exactly like the factory gauges. I have three of them that took me two years of searching to find
