Could watch Craigslist for a free functional oven. They pop up here regularly.

I looked today. Nothing good in the area. I figure if I mess up the paint, I'll just blast it back to bare metal.. and start over.

Burned an hour reading this whole thread. I dig your style and your work.

Also, SU carbs are so beautiful. I used one on a stuffed VW and that thing got more attention at shows than the turbo did. 

Add me to the list of buyers if you ever decide to produce the gauge cluster.

Stock 720 4x4 has an oil pressure sending unit that operates both a gauge and the idiot light. The gauges are independent 2" gauges that can be put anywhere. I'm running that and the companion volt meter in my 510 and also in my 240sx (and my 720, but it came with them).

 

I like them because they also match the other gauges well and look stock.

 

These are the gauges.

The sender is the gold can right behind the filter.

Rigged a few adapters together so I can run an oil pressure gauge and the stock sensor. Not sure what I think about it... open to recommendations.

 

I like it. Looks factory-ish. Wouldn't hurt to paint the brass adapters black, if they stick out to your eye.

I might paint it and see what it looks like. The brass doesn't flow well.

 

I like the idea of the 720 sensor. I would need to make sure it read correctly on the speedhut gauge.

 

Both good ideas!

So excited for you , this thing is getting so close , and looks great. 

 

O . . you can add me to the list of people asking for the center caps & gauge cluster . Both very cool pieces ! 

 

 

Yeah, I probably won't be either. I did sand blast it first.. but I just want to get it together now. It's all bolted down.

 

  Time to get the shake down happening .

Got the fan shroud blasted.. hoping to get it painted before I go to bed. That way I can bolt it on tomorrow after work.

 

 

I'd love to get a few pieces replated.. but I need to get this on the road and start back up on body work. Eventually..
