The gauges and the cluster looks good. I did the same thing when I was getting my comet cluster installed, reset the odometer to all zeros. Was a simple task. I figured since it was starting a whole new life with most things new or refurbished it might as well start off at zero milage. Had no idea what the correct milage should have been anyway as the speedo was not connected when I got it.

Thanks for all the good comments! Drove it around yesterday for the first time, got the front aligned and weighed it 3420 lbs with 1/3 tank of gas. It's a beast! Maybe this winter I'll go through the post and put photos back for reference.
