Just pics of everything...

[eliyarbrough]

Didn't think my camera would transfer the pics. Found a way to do it, though.
Those Simco Gauges in my car:

Man, I loved them @ night!!

My car & me:

That part where a loser ran into me:

All gone:

Those gauges @ night:

Not bad @ all, I just have to go back w/the needles it came with. I painted my old ones black. You just cannot see them @ night. I never drive @ night, though. I may stick with these?

 

[eliyarbrough]

Remember those washers behind my Running Pony? I had them painted to black. I'll maybe post them tomorrow? I think I might get my smoked lights from Art's soon. I may just wait 'til they go on. Yeah, I'll do that.

ohh god I thought that I was gonna see some naked pictures...but for some reason I clicked on it anyway. Car looks good. I just noticed the mileage on the two pictures you posted, what the hell man it took you like 40k miles to take a nighttime picture.

 

[eliyarbrough]

On the diff in the miles, I had a dr's appt to find out new stuff about my traumatic brain injury. I parked it with valet & when I got back in it, it was 55,300 higher!

Not really, the lesser one is my stock cluster. The higher is that Cobra cluster. I keep a note to subtract the miles.
As far as pics of me that y'all will see, that's about it! There was 1 taken of my @ my sister's wedding reading my 5.0 Mag. I will post it, I'm not a fan of the cameras though.

sweet looking. I really like the c stripe on the side. Kinda reminds me of the 69 Boss 302. and the guages rock too

 

[eliyarbrough]

Thanks! The stripes are just still ok to me. I'm prob going to stick in again next year. This time demand they go with my idea!! It looks good, I just think mine was so much better!

The c stripes I wanted, isn't really like the Boss scheme. Supposed to have 2 c stripes. They just took the overall idea of mine & made I really don't know. Thanks though. When I hear compliments I don't feel as bad driving it. It just took me 7 years to finally decide on a scheme. Not good knowing once I did, really didn't mean that much. For what I paid, this is more than OK though!! They could have left in all Laser Red, would still came out on top!! I don't ? the work, just the scheme.

Those Cobra gauges look good man! They'lll look great with those orange needles on there.

I'm glad to see the damage was easily fixed. Car still looks nice!

looks good.... ou baught after market gauges that look just like oe's with no true temp's pressure or other actual #'s though??

 

[eliyarbrough]

The Simco's came with new black needles. I liked that look, so I painted my stock ones to black. Looks great, just not really 'functional'. When I buy those overlays, I'll go back to them. Probably?

I never even worried about that damage!! Either it came right off, or it didn't. Wasn't going to lose sleep over that. The only thing I was unsure on was how new my paint was. I didn't know if it could have the rubbing compound used on it. Once Josh told me it could, I knew it would come right off. Thanks a lot!!!

Not really sure what this means, sorry. I've got to go pick up supper. Maybe you can reword it for me? Be back in about 30 minutes. Thanks. I think I just started my car? Maybe it was like just cold?

 

[duff daddy]

no i mean if your going to spend the money on gauges why not get ones that dont say H and C get oens with actual temps, or for oil pressure get ones with actual psi Index readings... something that will help you besides the generic listings as the stock ones or the ones you spent extra money on to put in there

 

[JerZeyStangz]

I love your guages, they look so clean and nice. On the other hand wow I can tell that the water really discolored the reflective part of your smoked headlight. Are you ever going to replace them?

 

[eliyarbrough]

I have new smoked lights on there way from Art's. I siliconed them up really good before I had them put on. There was no water in them. Not sure what happened to them. I've had them since '07, can they just go bad? I already have bought new fogs for it. Already added the silicone to them! The lights look OK from like a long way away. The closer you get, just looks like crap! Thankfully still, when people looks @ my car, they kinda look @ the paint & not the lights.

On those gauges, already have it down to buy Auto Meter NV's. I bought that plate that holds 3-2 1/16th's, I think, from Paul. I will get a water temp, oil pressure, & a fuel level gauge! He told me I don't need to trust those stock ones. I guess I thought I'd have to have something where my stock cluster goes. I hope @ least my speedo is kinda close to being right? It's not, but I know the difference.

 

[eliyarbrough]

Oh yeah, on that driver's side light!! Not sure the real words, all the reflective stuff is gone!! That's why I ordered new ones. I think some call it the chrome stuff? Even though my pass looks like crap, it's all still there. That light shines all bright. The dr side just is very puny shining? It will be fixed pretty soon, though.

ooh i was just wondering why you would have wasted the money to buy basically stock gauges and gained nothing from them....

What happen to mine was moisture some how made its way in and the sun baked the water on the reflective part making it look like that. You just got to silicone them really good!

I've been telling y'all since I joined. I'm not that smart now!! I know how to overcome most of my problems, I still have about 1/2 a functioning brain! I compare myself to having a rebuilt title! No matter how good I think I am, still been basically totaled!!

Now the fuel gas doesn't work right. It's been stuck on full for about 125 miles!!

 

[US Soldier(stang 98)]

looks good Eli. im glad to here that the mark came out.

 

[eliyarbrough]

I kinda knew I could get it out. It was just about the same look as when I ran into the side of my house. I was just not sure about the new paint. Josh told me to apply as much pressure as I could to the area. I started off real lightly. When I gave it just about all I could muster, that's when it came out.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Looks really good man, i don't get the two different gauges though?
