Hey guys, I decided to make some modification to my instrument cluster. I wasn't a big fan of the 3 big gauges in the square boxes since i got the car, so I decided to make it a cleaner, tougher look, delete the lighter and add gauges. It was a lot of work but I'm pretty happy how it came out with the tools i had available to me.
Purchased this car a few months ago from a lead of a board member. Learning the ins & outs of Buicks always build Fords . This is a fun & slow process.
Getting it torn down and starting to cut out all the frame rot. I'll post up the progress as it comes in. Got the stock rear axle modded up with the wilwood dynapro calipers and rotors Got the Edelbrock heads and intake snugged down today. The CVF serpentine system is also all buttoned up. I had to grind down a cheap 19mm socket to tighten down the head studs from ARP. The provision that's milled on the far ends of the heads (4 in total) wouldn't take a thin-walled 3/4 inch socket....
