              I took careful measurements and made a template in Flash I use the image as a background so I can get the guages and number marks in the right location then I can add background images if wanted

                The whole 140 is cool but you can really tell that it was cut out and put in the old one. Lines over lap and it does look like that coolant will hit the speedo.

                  Only if something is seriously wrong!! :-) even when driving home from the newton junkyards going 100mph for 20min strait it doesnt go half way. Furthermore, if I recally, theyre layered a little, so one is farther back than the other.

                  Hey Festiva Tunner, what would it cost me to have you make me one of those faceplates? Maybe you could change Festiva to Formula or something for me?

                    i like the use of duct tape to cover electrical connections. :p

                      I can only do non tach clusters at this time - because the the tach cluster is back lit I have to create a diffuser that blocks the lettering but allows enough light through
