    That looks perfect!

    Hello,

    there was MotoMeter Outside Temp gauge in my car. It's lying around about 15 years, because the display inside was glued and it don't look nice.
    So I decided to make something with it... ;-)
    A Friend of mine makes me a new dial and another one make an electrician modification.
    So now it can go in my showcase...
    Doesn't it look nice?

    Harald

    It's true.....whatever Gordon comes up with or does to his car is absolutely "top notch." I've seen it in person many times.

    I moved the hazard switch over and put in an NOS VDO outside temp gauge.
    It was a little newer than 71, so I opened the gauge and added the silver center.

    As seen thru the pivoting vent window, which was added to get some forced air in the car.

    Hi All,
    I don't know if this can be considered a satanic detail, but for sure a fun fact.
    Once I bought my car, and taking out the headliner, I found this hole on the roof and there was a cable that runs down through the right A-pillar to a switch on the dashboard.
    I believe that the hole is covered with something that resembles resin and painted over it.
