No bigger than my tiny progress thread is, I've got a few hours in it just sorting through pics, loading thm up to the net, then posting them on NastyZ. I can't imagine how you got so much work done on your car AND kept up with this thread. It's mind boggling.... gotta be a world record "car resto" thread. Somebody call Guinness!!!!

In the beggining it was kinda hard. Do some work, take pics, go in the house to photobucket then post. That was a PITA lol. But after we put a puter in the garage, I kind of got a system goin. I could load pics while I was working, that made life awhole lot easier lol
Oh................I've got a fridge in the garage too

Here are some pics of my cluster as I took it out of my car. She needed some work. The lense was toast, tach did not work, all tabs were broke, black cover piece was broke and printed curcuit was toast too.

Got my gauge cluster back from 77RS(Daniel)today. Daniel did a top notch job repairing my cluster. Got it installed and everything works like new.

I want to thank Daniel at gaugemarks.com for great work and fast turnaround. Daniel can be emailed at info@gaugemarks.com to find out about getting your cluster restored to factory original.
Here are a few pics of my restored cluster.
Install pics commin up next.

Hey Guy,
Thanks for the props! Glad they got there ok.

Looks like your fuel gauge is getting voltage, but no resistance to ground through the sending unit. That's why it's run so far over to the right past full. May want to check that out

Thanks man!
Daniel
