    Pressboard and chrome vinyl adhesive. Both were free so it didn't cost me a thing.

    Amen... but remember, Murphy's Law is not recursive. Washing your car to make it rain won't work.

    Looks pretty good though. I think if I was to do that, I'd put them right into the dash instead of having the pressboard or whatever holding it...just my .02

    Yea, my dash REALLY needs some Armor-All. If it's sunny tomorrow...

    I like the plate between the gauges and the dash, gives it less of a "smooth" appearance, adding to the custom it-wasnt-there-when-I-bought-it look

    you have no stereo? how do you live?
    one of my 88 lx's is up for parts. good engine and transmission. pretty much everything is there. the fenders and hood are bad but other than that it's pretty good.

    RIP my beutiful 5g coupe. May the villans rot in hell!

    It's out of the car right now... rewiring everything right now. I have a 4 channel amp in the glovebox and a 2 channel under the passenger seat. Six channels takes a LOT of wire.

    Here's the piece-o-plumbing that will connect the interior fuel pressure gauge. The tee is so I can have both the Autometer and B&M gauges simultaneously

    Finished job. I rotated the gauges at a 45 degree angle and they're perfectly visible from the driver's side
