I had to send the tach back to Speedhut because I pulled the wires off when I was installing the faces. I finally got it back today and put them in......here they are lit up at night..... :Beer

ooo very nice

Thanx.....now I have to put the dash back together.....and get the new LED bulbs to work...... :Beer

As it stands now, only for me and Geno. BUT, Geno is supposedly working with SpeedHut to get it so anyone can use it......maybe he will chime in, or private message him and find out. :Beer

Those look great Ray!

:Beer :Beer :Beer

I'd love to have one of those in my car.

How did yours cost do do all that? Cause thats how I would want mine, just like yours.

Well, first off you can not get yours exactly like mine. The speedo logo (cobrastar emblem) is ONLY available to me and to Geno. Secondly, mine were free because I was the one that sent in the gauge cluster so that SpeedHut could get the gauges started and tooled up. Well, they were not free totally, since the speedo logo is totally custom I had to pay $25+shipping for them. The Lincoln logo will be available soon.

So, you can get something like mine, but with a different logo for the speedo. SpeedHut has a regular cobra that you could use. Go to the website and see what it will cost to build them. I think they will be around $100 to have something close to what I have. If you would have gotten in on the pre-order stage you could have gotten ALL upgrades for free, but now that they are in the regular tooling stage you have to pay for every upgrade from stock. Go to SpeedHut (www.speedhut.com) and you can see design your own and see what the final price would be. You do not have to purchase them, but you can see what it will cost and look like. :Beer

Those look really nice. Maybe It's just me but I think the needles are too dark. You can't do a "quick scan" of the gauges, and go about your driving, it seems.

Maybe the pics are too dark...?

Actually what happened is that I had the dimmer switch down too low for the other gauges except the tach to have color. I changed the bulbs out to LEDs and I think they require a bit more power for them to illuminate than a regular bulb. When I turned the dimmer switch up I could see the other needles better.....I just never took another pic.....maybe I should have. :Beer

Hey bub, tell us about the LED bulbs you found. :Beer

very interesting look! good luck with them ray.

It 'runs' but it is not really 'runnin'. What I mean is I can start it up, but it sounds like I have a bunch of rocks inside the motor at start up and any throttle position. The heavier the throttle, the more it sounds like the rocks are moving around. :Beer

Hey bub, tell us about the LED bulbs you found. :Beer

I ordered the WLED 6 bulb LEDs from [url=www.superbrightleds.com]SuperBright LEDs. They were like $3 each+ shipping. I have had them for a while now, but did not want to yank the dash/gauge cluster just to install them. So, I waited until the SpeedHut gauges showed up to do it......I plan on buying some of their newer LEDs in the future to test out the brightness. :Beer

what happened to the Lincoln star in this picture? (towards the top)

If you look at this (http://www.markviii.org/~1wykdmk8/temp-gas.jpg) image and you look at the top of the Lincoln star you will see that is where the battery, and the seatbelt indicators are. I would have to assume that since there has to be a clear area for the light to show thru so you can see those indicators that they had to leave out that part of the Lincoln star. I was waiting for someone to notice that....... :F
