The Whiter Side:

SWAPPING OLD, BLACK GAUGES

FOR A BRIGHTER LOOK

Here    we  are at  the start.  Even    after   cleaning    the bezels, polishing

the pieces  and freshening  the chrome  with    Eastwood’s  Liquid

Chrome, the old yellowed    dash    gauges  made    this    dash    look    dated.

Fresh   white   gauges  would   make    this    cluster a   pure    knockout    on  my

little  Barracuda.

ell, I’m getting pretty far along on the hard, dusty trail of a full-
blown restoration on my little ‘A’ Body Barracuda. There’s no
turning back now, as I’ve stuffed all of my malnourished bank account
into the body parts of my little fish car, turning once beaten panels into
straightened steel, and beefing up a once sullen uni-body into a
masculine, big-boned Mopar Whip. And as the gray primer metal turns
to metallic turquoise blue in front of my eyes, I see a very small Bic light
at the end of this very expansive tunnel I’ve been traveling through for
the last year or so....D-Day (driving day) will be coming soon.
