instrumentation

Yes. If you pull out your dash panel and send it Haneline, they will install new gauges for $550.

I am going this route myself

Weird hobbies? They shoot horses, don't they?

I will be having my panel done but right now, I am up to my eyeballs in mods that are being undertaken as I write this. My pony in Beaver Falls, PA having the following installed:

1. Global West Stage 5 suspension (including their Category 5 leaf springs)
2. Headman long tube headers
3. Vintage wheel works Vintage 45 16x8 wheels
4. Toyo Proxis T1-S tires
5. TCP Manual rack and pinion
6. other cosmetic touches (Grant shelby style mahogony steering wheel, etc)
7. Traction bars (exactly which ones have yet to be decided)

And I still have to ship it to Europe and pay the duty on it. Even with the Euro being so strong, it would be irresponsible of me to have the gauges done right now. But at this exchange rate, how can I afford NOT to do it? Oh what the hell....
