Great write up. I am going to do this tomorrow if I can find the plastic sheets. I looked at Michaels and they were no where to be found. Where did you get yours? Or is there another material you guys have in mind?
Thanks.

 

Hello, I found my plastic at my local hobby shop. If there is one near you, go near the STYRENE plastics. If you look around, you will most likely see TRANSLUCENT plastic. I will get the EXACT name and prices. If you want I will buy you a sheet and you can pay me thru Papal. Its VERY inexpensive. First let me post the pictures of the Speedo Lite up in the dark so you can see what it looks like. IF you like it, we can go from there. I only need 1 sheet to do my Monte (you have to move the sheet around until you can fit ALL 3 panels on 1 sheet) When I do it again, I will post a picture of that as well ( I'm gonna do the side panels in red and the Speedo in blue) just to see how that looks, give it a little custom touch to it....lol its so inexpensive you can try multiple color combos. Try the Hobby shop and Ill bet you will find it (they also carry it at OUR Michaels, as well as a place called "Pat Catans" in Ohio.) Ill see what I can do to help....MJC

 

I found the plastic. Thank you for you help. Another question however...how did you remove the dash needles? I fee like I am going to break them if I try any harder...

i found a arts and craft store that claims to have "everything" so i will go pick some up soon. it does make me a little nervous pulling the needles and stuff off but im still gonna give it a go. how do you get to the guage cluster? do i just pulll the dashboard off then there are some screws? or what?

 

yeah i believe there are 4 screws and then it pulls out and unhook the harness

 

night pics yet?

 

update?

 

UPDATED NIGHT PICS !!!! Finally Whew....., wasnt sure if I was ever gonna get to put in the speedo with the COLD weather we have had, BUT I wanted to hurry and get it in so I could show you how MINE turned out. I am gonna do another one with the Speedo in RED, and Ill post pics of that as well. BUT HERE is the BLUE that I did...... Thanks Michael...
