Re: 65 Gage Bezel

In addition to a stock replacement there is the option build other designs that utilize led lighting. I can imagine an led panel that drops in behind the a stock lense or leds behind a diffuser...

Re: 65 Gage Bezel

Yep, I noticed that the gage pods are different sizes. With the prototype in hand I'll be comparing it to the stock one and adjusting where needed. Since I have the design built in CAD any changes should be a an easy adjustement. I purchased a set of the camera case inserts to verify fit. The one th...

Today I received the first full 3D printed part. This first part is simply a test piece to evaluate both the q...

I just saw the message. I sent a PM as well.

I wasn't getting notifications when a reply was posted. I think I must have had the notifications turned off inadvertently.

Re: Rear seat

I've got a nice set of seats out of a 65 Comet 4 Door Sedan. The rear seat is perfect. I'd make you a great deal on them... just come pick them up!

I'm located in central Michigan.
