Precious metal? Here's my friend hacking holes in his dash to install a set of the MotoMeter Rally gauges. Not a Zwitter, but a far more uncommon 1957 vert!

He should have at least put the correct speedo in it before he added MORE gauges....

Cut the son of a bitch! biggest pet peeve I have is someone telling you what to do or not to do with YOUR car. If you like it then cut it.

It's been 8 plus years since that was posted. My guess is that he has already made his decision..... or has left the hobby and is into bowling now.
