I may be a little biased, but I think it looks great!

finished the tailgate as well.

NICE!!!!!!

the gauges look so shiney I got to put on my :cool:

Nice work on the tailgate.

That looks Great!

It may just be my monitor, or the pic, but are the dash pad and steering column a brown, or black?

I ask because I am getting close to decision time on interior colors and seats. I will be painting the original light red, and was considering a brown/tan combo instead of black.

Very nice! :D

Hey Nice gauges. I really liked what you did. What kind of tach and where did you get it? I would like to do something like that also. thanks. :cool:

AutoGauge (by Autometer) #ATM 23001 (3 3/4") from Summit-$54.88

Clean!
 

Nice to see someone getting away from "another" black interior.
I like the color combo, great choice.

Turning into a one of a kind blazer. :metal:

:agree: :phat:

Are you sure on the part number for the tach
ATM-2301 is external and ATM-2302 is internal

If external mind giving me a quick note on the installation

It is an external type. We cut the lense and made a mounting bracket for the back side of the cluster.

Looks nice! Only one problem -- you're almost out of gas!! :o

Really sharp. I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket tach also. Been reading that the originals aren't very accurate to start with and even worse with electronic ignition. Be interested if you could show us how you did it.

I will take a shot at it.
1--From front of dash scribe a circle on lens in center hole (when you cut it out make it slightly larger).
2--next cut the same size hole in inner green bucket.
3--cut hole in back cover that the tach will fit thru (it will be a little larger then the other 2 holes as the tach tapers out a little ).
4-put the dash back together (screw here and there) and set the tach in hole.
5--measure from back pan to top of tach (where screw is).
6--make bracket as shown in red on photo (make slightly shorter so when you tighten screws (yellow in photo) it will tighten tach against bezel).
7--drill hole in bracket (blue screw in photo--screw will have to be a little longer then the one in tach).
8--You can now put everything back together.
9--any questions feel free to ask.
10--almost forgot--you will need a tach printed circuit (you will also need to make the hole in printed circuit larger by cutting out more of the blank green area).

Wow, that was a quick reply. Thanks, great info. Hadn't thought about the tach printed circuit. What did you use to cut the lens? Thanks

real sharp! You are setting the tone on a how to do it yourself resto!

That looks great!

Dremal tool with the cut off wheels (the ones that cause you to recite your Sunday School lesson backward a few times before you get thru). Also use the same for the metal holes.

Tha blazer is turning into a very nice ride...

your not biased it does look great
