Ward, those look nice. You might also look at the Autometer gauges like Stan uses in his Vortec converstions (see here

Thanks for the suggestion, Sam
Two thoughts -
1 - Autometer very comparable to Speedhut. As we are basically reproducing Tor's build of Theron's wagon, it was just easier to 'go with the flow' wherever possible. There is something to be said for standardization and Tor does a couple of these per week - lots of benefits for his customers.
2- Stan and Tor's shops have a great deal in common - quality, passion, commitment, value(s), etc. - also similar component sourcing (shifters, radiators, etc.). One of my bucket list items is a continental road trip, hitting all of the high points of Cruiser goodness. Kind of like "Route 66" except the rig would be a reborn VJ73 (BJ73 + Vortec). Following are some of the drive-by targets (NOT a complete list) - not included are non-vendor individuals that make my life better (Chas, Sam, Delancy, Kevin, Rob, Alberto, etc.)
