My First Mopar- 1966 Barracuda project
Worked (7) 12 hour shifts in a row, finally have a day off. Guess I can order a bunch of parts now.
Pulled out the extra old gauge cluster spare for a compare and contrast. Debating on blacking out the Speedo/Tach trim ring insides like stock, or leaving the aluminum finish.
Got some cheap center caps ($9 shipped) and bought a set of period correct Magnum center inserts. The caps fit the wheel perfectly, but the inset was about 1/8” too small for the aluminum insets. Did some trimming on the grinder and they fit like a glove. Will strip the clear on the lip and polish those later.
