Well, like alot of people, I was sick of my temperature gauge that told me little to no useful info on my engines actual temperature as well as the "dummy needle" oil pressure gauge in the dash.
I also wanted to have full sweep mechanical gauges because I'm odd like that.
Here's what they look like:
Illuminated:
When I did the SpeedHut whiteface gauges, I picked the "Euro" font because I knew it would work well with the Autometer Phantom series of gauges. The temp gauge didn't bother me about what could come in the passenger compartment if there was a leak (some ether would escape then nothing), but I wasn't comfortable with the nylon tubing that came with the oil pressure gauge, so I stepped up to a braided line.
Let's just say it was a PITA to install, but will hopefully be worth it.
Since I had the fender off to change to a fox cruise cable (finally got some time to do the fox tb swap), I decided to route the lines through the firewall behind the inner plastic fender.
