    Default Cluster redo

    Started collecting goodies for a future project. Got a "parts cluster" (had a busted lens-first pic) and a good set of bezels from blazin1320 at a decent price. A buddy gave me an SVO speedo, bought a white face set off ebay and bought primer, Sonic Blue Pearl and clear coat. Currently waiting for a few needles, new cluster lens and trip reset button from Late Model Restoration. Here are pics of how things look so far:











    Total invested (all parts, paint, shipping, etc.) under $200 and about 3-5 hours total.

    Sonic blue pearl, sand beige, netted halos, FR500 wheels and shiny under the hood.

    Thanx. It is the proposed body color of a future build (84-86 t-top), Sonic Blue Pearl.

    Yeah Sonic Blue, good choice! Gauges look pretty cool, different, I like them.

    I love my sonic blue. Made is just a little different than factory, used a purple base coat instead of blue and used high solids clear (minor yellow tint) to draw the purple through the Sonic Blue top coat.

    Looks good! I redone a 140 mph cluster not too long ago. Sure does set the interior off!
