Shoebox Ford gauge upgrade

The build of your vintage project involves many challenges not the least of which is the dashboard treatment... there are many choices ....OEM , aftermarket, etc..
We decided to take a shot at retrofitting the Tbird instruments into the OEM housing...

 

Nicely done, going to share any more details?

 

Sure...what would you like to see... I posted some stuff for heat/ac conversion...and a slick in dash stereo conversion which l have not yet posted....

 

More details about the source of the "T-Bird" instruments would be a nice start. Also mods required to mount it. "The Devil Is In The Details".......

It would be nice to block out the metric crap

 

Not sure how this works...l wrote a more detailed description of how to do this...if you send me your email I can send you it...l don't know how to post the article here...any coaching appreciated....

 

Here you go..

 

looks good, I went a bit different route but it works for me.

 

Nicely done...where did the gauges come from and can you share more on your project...

 

anymore info on this? looks great!

 

The gauges are mounted in 1/8 inch sign material in the original housing. the speedo is an 85mm GPS model ( as the T5 trans I have has an electronic sender), the fuel and oil gauges are 2", and the indicator lights were purchased off Ebay.
