TOPIC:

Several people have pm'd me for the files and VterBob is appearently working on them now (thanks), I'm going to try linking the originals from another website's gallery but I will mail them to you as well if this doesn't work. Feel free to modify them however you think looks good. Might be cool to get some different ideas.

I removed the needles using a combination of kitchen fork with two of the tines bent closer together, and a couple of screw drivers. Just kinda worked around the needle from all sides until it pulled free. Not sure if they are all the same, but mine have a brass inert on the bottom, covered by plastic on the top. I tried to apply pressue from the bottom only on the brass part, actually had to pry pretty hard from several different angles in order to get them loose, but nothing broke. I have digital pictures of the process, if someone can tell me how to post them here.

Here's the links (I hope)

is this white enough?
what color do you want the numbers and lines. and do you want the redline left blue?i like the blue

tribal numbers?

Wow! Originaliy I was thinking black numbers with a red redline, but the blue looks cool too. Can you do the speedo with the tribal #'s too? I like that look.

Check out the pics of the 82 spectre repainted in the paint and body work section, they look like white face.
maybe they are stock on the 82 spectre.

Hey thanks a lot for doing that. I'm going to take the files over to a local sign shop today and have them printed out on UV resistant viynl. Guy said it should be a peice of cake.

Ps, Any slim chance you could do some House of Kolor Kandy orange flames? That's what color I'm plannning to paint the bike so...you said any color, right?

I'm going to try and have all of these printed out, he said it shouldn't be any problem to make more copys if need be.

Thanks again-
Max

got any pics of the color? and does the print shop want it in adobe photoshop acrobat or illustrator format i can save it and email it in all of those

im guessing at the orange and i inverted the flames in 1 guage so they will look better together

man you are no hack that is great work. COuld you do the same flames but with normal font and blue numbers and lines.

btchalice i will get you a set printed off too if you want them, you have definately earned them....

That's 2 cool. I love the twisted and creative minds that live in this cyber garage! How about setting up a little side biz doing custom, one-off guage faces?
