Nice job. I'm doing my white ones tomorrow. Where did you get the mini SSOA decal from?

Bob, The needles were easy to get off. They give you a tool to get them off. I made a diagram of the face to mark where the needles should be. I started the car(cold) and marked where all the needles were. Then took a ride to warm it up. Then marked where the needles were at idle. The only problem is putting the speedometer needle back on. Before I took it apart I ran the car to 40mph at 1800rpm. After installation I took the car out again,before I put the bezel on,and set the cruise at 1800rpm. Tried to put the needle on while drivng the car. Not too easily done. I had Bill along when I did this. He then held the steering wheel while I put the needle at 40mph. It took me twice before I got it right.

30thssNerd, The SSOA and the SS decal came from Teri Lane(Teri9672) on this board.

hey Ralph I assume everything is still working ok. They do look good. Did you have the car out today in this Spring like weather! [Big Grin]

Posted by sscamaro (Member # 1330) on :

I had it out yesterday for a run. All the gauges are right on the money. Fourth gear-40mph @ 1800rpm, 6th gear-75mph @ 1800rpm.

Nice looking gage face! I may one day actually install this one I got from Berger Chevrolet that is a leftover from the Berger SS build. [Cool]

Posted by sscamaro (Member # 1330) on :

I was going to have Scott sign mine before I installed it,but there wasn't any room for his signature after the decals were put on.

Posted by MMMM_ERT (Member # 1599) on :

I like the Seat decals...are they actually decals?
Are they thin or fabric? What kind of adhesive?

Thanks. [Smile]

The SS is a decal. Check the link for them.
