I know they are Stewart Warner not VDO but I scored a Box of Gauges and senders at the last Turlock swap meet for $70 and these were in there plus some vacuum, amp, another oil temp gauge with sending unit and some mounting plates that I sell can on Ebay

should I paint the glove box door silver too or leave it black I am boing to be runing a silver and black MOMO wheel



Also working on changing out fuse box to ATO style fuses I modified the fuse box to accept circuit breakers for the headlamps will be adding a second box for lighting




and I found a prop rod to hold the one piece front end up




and yes I an going to do away with crap headlamp mounting bar and make some adjustable mounts so I can center the headlamp in the holes

still working on wiring mostly added a ford wiper delay unit as we get a lot of fog and misty mornings around here,
you set the delay by rotating the switch to the left the more you rotate the longer it delays the time in between wipes

Off road mirrors I have been working on

You need more protection for those mirrors, one mesquite bush or some arrow weed will have you constantly adjusting your mirror. How did you hinge your front end? Gauges are looking good. Nice progress.
