Speedhut gauges in my '68

Here's a pic of the Speedhut gauges I installed in my 442. Sorry about the pic quality but you get the idea. The speedometer is operated via GPS. I used the stock bezels and mounted the gauges in in modified clock blanks so the install looks relatively stock. The car isn't completed yet so I can't speak to how they work.

Sorry about the quality of the pic... shadows in the garage make it tough to get a good shot.

I like those. Did you have any install troubles? I only ask cause you 68-69 guys have it I think, a little tougher than the 70-72 crowd, when getting all up in that dash.

It can be done but they suck to mount if the dash isn't out of the car. I mounted this tach into a clock delete housing before I installed the dash. I've since sold it and replaced it with a factory Rallye Pac which I did without removing the dash

I had the dash out of the car for this and don't see any way to do it with the dash in the car. There is zero room up there to maneuver. Mine was more fun because I have added a dual front speaker and Vintage Air. I'll just be thrilled if everything works and I didn't knock off wires, cause shorts or kill the A/C ducts!
