Starting My restoration on a 65 Barracuda...1st question Instrument Cluster Removal?
Got the instrument cluster out. Thanks for the tips. Multipin plug came out without much trouble. Tried to clean off what I thought was dust from the front faces of the gauges and it looks like a haze on some faces rather than dust. Any thoughts on restoring the black color without hurting the white lettering? BTW, tried to start the car with the instruments off and no go. I assume that is normal? One of the guys I work with dad is a big Mopar guy with a really nice GTX clone. He told me that one of the first things to do is to change the voltage reducer to an electronic one rather than the stock type which is known to be a problem. Do you guys agree? Is it the rectangular box on the back of the cluster board? what part do you recommend i use in its place? That's enough questions for one night... I am really looking forward to this adventure.
