I used to be on top of all of the projects I have for my car but I would like to be honest in how backlogged I have become.
- Underseat courtesty lights
- big brake install complete with poly control arm bushings
- engine mounts
- h pipe collector exhaust leak
- fixing the autolamps
- repainting the 1979 specific license plate housing I have
- rebuilding the track lock
- repainting the HPP wheels I have
- lightning upper and lower intake complete with egr spacer and tb
- addco 1 1/4 front sway bar
- yellow led to install in speedo cluster for low fuel
- ford racing girdle
I think that is the majority of stuff I have yet to do........
Gosh I used to be so quick with doing everything. Its tough being a grown up. lolLast edited by 87gtVIC; 01-13-2013, 11:55 AM.~David~

Those tachs are sexy...but I wouldn't want to replace my Tripminder. Sucks how there aren't many tachs that go so well with these cars...

Impressive list! Nice tach too. A9P; you got plans or sumtin mang? I love how you get a list of things to do before winter and then find that Spring is almost here; and you (I) got maybe one thing done on that list. LOL

If you wanted to get REALLY fancy, you could find a digital clock that's the right size and colour to fit in the bottom half of the tach, then you'd lose where it gives away non-OEM status by saying "suntune" and retain the clock/timer feature, though not the mileage tracking if so equipped.
Hmm...
Yeah any ideas how rare this is? I kinda like it better for my purposes than the tweaked Police gaugepack or sliding under-dash setups I'd been contemplating

No idea on how rare it is. Just old so none are around anymore lol.
The mechanism for the tach is located right in the area you have in mind to put a clock. Would have to figure something else out.
Fired up the tach yesterday...well the illumination portion of it and sure enough it did not light up. Opened her up and it was getting 12v at the bulb. The blub is a soldered cylindrical tube looking type. Will have to find a replacement. Will check out the tach portion once I have a car fired up.
My list will hardly get touched this year.

my old clock/radio/cd player had a bulb like that. I soldered LEDs in there to replace it. worked for another 10 years... then the cd player started flaking out... so got a new one at walmart.
I say LEDs FTW
