Re: 1940 dash replace

I have been working on the workstation since September as you guys can see in my thread of special 1946 project. One of the projects that I have been wanting to get back to was the dash in the 40. I had cobbled the gauges into the cluster housing for the olds dash that I installed earlier in this thread. Last weekend I decided it was time to finish the cluster so when I get the truck out it is ready to install. I used some of the extra clock housing parts and face plate. My brother made the plexi lens for me which after a bit of final grinding and sanding on the edges everything went together. The scariest part was cutting the bezels and gauge lens off the $700 worth of gauges. Their warranty states that there is no warranty on modified gauges. That was a main reason for running the gauges last year before modifying them. I had 2200 miles on them last summer so I assume everything will continue to work fine now.
