mdjay said:These new 67-68 gauge supports are just hitting the market. They give the option of using either 3 3/8" gauges in the middle, or 5" ones with a little trimming. Keep in mind, your gauge selection does become the majority of the cost of building these.

I don't know if trashy is the right word, but they do look weird. Not nice and natural looking like the 5-inchers.bad68coupe said:Would 3 3/8" gauges look a little trashy in those big holes. does anyone have pics?

It's easy. Yank the speedo cable out, take the gear off it, put the gear on the AutoMeter speedo send, and stick that into the tranny. Run one signal wire to the speedo, +12V, and ground.bad68coupe said:How hard was it for you to hook up the electric speedo's?

Find a known 1-mile distance and calibrate the speedo simply using the button on its face. That's it.
I like the electric unit because you're always right on regardless of rear end ratio, tire size, etc. No more screwing with speedo gears.
How many times are you going to come on here to plug your eBay listings??fastlane65 said:Anyone interested in getting one NOW?

First off, it's been weeks since you first put your eBay auction up here. That's not jumping on it very fast...fastlane65 said:Two.
About 175 less than you plugging what you are trying to sell.
You sure jumped on this fast. Nervous someone might cut into your sales? I really doubt my one panel will hurt you. Even if it turns out better.
Oh, and I almost forgot to say...there's no way that it could possibly turn out better!fastlane65 said:Two.

OK OK perhaps I overreacted, and I apologize for jumping down your throat. It's just that it comes across as disingenuous when someone with no history comes on and markets a product. It happens all the time. I also must admit that when I first started posting here a couple years back people jumped down my throat as well thinking I was just trying to profit off of someone else's site. It took time and thoughtful contribution to become a valuable (I hope) member of the board and you're in that same situation. I didn't, however, do it by hijacking someone else's thread, which is considered impolite.fastlane65 said:Reen, why so hostile? Why the need to attack me? I was just following your example of making a product then posting here to tell people how to buy it.
I’ve been reading this forum for a long time, I just don’t feel the need to post every time I tighten a screw. Yes, I have read the forum and many of your posts. If I recall correctly you have always posted good information on your projects and given your best advice.
You state that you “do not directly plug” what you sell. This whole thread proves that statement false. You have provided examples of the models available, your price structure and how to contact you for purchase. Your whole intention in starting this thread was to test the members’ interest in your product to decide if production would be profitable.
I got in on this thread late, but participated in similar ones on other forums. I asked several questions here but never got any answered. On other forums I posted similar questions and usually got good answers. My only “agenda” by returning to this thread was to provide the community one quality alternative to your high priced product. If I really wanted to “plug” my auction don’t you think I would have posted on the first day it was listed, not the last?
As far as “better” – if I can make the same thing using less material and labor, is that not better? If I can sell it for less, is that not better? Sure, it doesn’t have perfectly welded brackets and perfect powdercoating, but it is in the dash - - never to be seen again. Better? Mine is lighter, fits better without all the unneeded bracketry on the back, all the lighting is Autometer so the bulbs match and the tach can be rotated if desired. Better? You be the judge - - but you’ll have to buy it to decide. Better hurry, the auction is almost over. Do you need the link?
