    Updated pics look better and clearer on the webpage:

    http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/458314/10

    I don't know why I can't reduce my pics for posting here
    without killing the quality and size. My camera takes
    good pics but I can't figure out the reduction tricks.

    The tach is a NOS Stewart Warner Greenline dated
    March '66. Supposedly they were made until around
    '72. It came with a NOS chrome NAPA (Balkamp) cup
    to mount it on the column. I have a set of NOS SW
    gauges to mount under the dash as well.

    Thanks for the compliment. I am happy with the look.

    No, it's a Moto-Lita. LeCarra also makes the same wheel, or maybe
    they are the same with different names. It is the Shelby style wheel
    known as the Mark IV.

    Console is the '71-'73 Mustang/Cougar. There are some other pics
    on the webpage.


    The wooden shifter handle with the cobra logo is a knockoff of the
    '68-'70 Shelby handle with the Cobra Jet. The emblem is different
    but it is similar.

    If you look at all the pics, you will see a common theme throughout
    of trying to go for an all Ford factory look, albeit these mods never
    came on these things.
