  • “New” ‘51 dash!

    Work continues on my ‘51 Land Cruiser, finally got the refurbished and rewired dash installed. This car was originally an automatic , but I converted to a 3speed/OD.

      Beautiful Job Bruce !

      Now the acid test will be does it actually LIGHT up, with it's cool Purple Light and Green numerals?
      That will be one Great driving LC with Overdrive!

        Rich, is that an old picture, or restored gauges? And, if restored, what procedure or service to get the illumination restored?

      The color looks dead on original. Very nice job!

        Looking great - a cousin is working on a '51 Commander as well - had all the instruments rebuilt and had the clock converted into a tach - going to be nice.

        x2!

        Btw- your picture didn't render on my computer.
        Whirling dervish of misinformation.

          We are all seeing my Night Time View of a '51 dash just fine I think.
