Nice gauges. My "typical" 6 conversion gauge set up is standard 911 temp/OP and a fuel gauge where you've got the OP gauge, but I really like that set up too.

Nice work,like the idea for the speedo,wow your car is coming on well after all the BS with panels and past damage.
Will you be looking to primer and paint in the early new year ?

I am letting Kent set the pace. I know he has my car at the top of the list and I am very fortunate for that.

I cut open the old fender that was removed from the car to show how they can rust out from the back side.

Yes. I started using this a few years back and I'm very happy with it. It comes with a chemical resistant aspirator and it's thick enough to stay on vertical panels.

All the points that connect to the nose panel were in bad shape because the nose has been cut off and replaced multiple times.

Very interested as to what you do to/for the NOS front fenders (in the area that was rusted out of the old ones) Kent. I'm replacing a fender too, so I'm doubly interested to see how/if you get the old factory red primer stripped in that blind area.
