    I am looking to do a custom job on my dashboard and was wondering what everyone's dash clocks look like so I can narrow down my search.

  3. One of the neatest clocks I've seen is one from a 1960 Dodge.Called a ,"Satellite Clock" likely because of the (then)recent ventures into orbit,it mounted on top of the dash and had separate rotating pieces for hours and minutes as well as a second hand that,"orbited" the clock.There was a cable operated knob mounted under the dash to facilitate setting it.
    I have one out in the garage that needs a winder spring to work.I'll dig it out and post a picture.

    Used a cool 2 1/4" Veglia Borletti clock and Smiths vacuum gage I found in an old MG in the bone yard and mounted the cluster from the stock choke rod bracket on the gas tank in my Model A. It's nice to know what time it is and fun watchin that vacuum gage bounce around when I drive.

    I use a Flava Flav dash topper GPS.
    As in Gangsta Positioning System.
    Not only provides the time but directs me away from East L.A.
