It was a 2-year build that had appeared in magazines and was undefeated on the contest scene. The owner of the real car had purchased it for $2.5K and this is how he recieved it. The car has been rebuilt and is now retired on my shelf.

OP, glad you love it. I think it looks great now and hope it stays bright for a long time!

There is a DIY for the climate control if you want to save a few.$$$

People still use 56K?!?!?!

All kidding aside the finished product looks great. I want them to do mine as well but if the turn around time is longer than 5 business days I just can't wait that long or I would overnight my cluster tomorrow

I'm thinking of building this, sending around the country damaged to members one at a time and collecting the insurance! lol

Figured I would give a 3-month update.
Picture is worth a thousand words?


MPH gauge lighting **** the bed. Recently it started to randomly not turn on when I started the car. When I turned the car off and on, it would then start working again. However, now I can't get it to light at all. Just dark. This is also the only needle to show signs of failure. Gotta contact Lextech and see what they can do.

Also, on a slightly bizarre and possibly related note, my fuel gauge itself no longer works. The only way I know if I am low on fuel is when the yellow low light goes on. I pulled the fuel sending unit from the tank itself today and it appears that it's the actual cluster needle motor has failed.

i think it looked good except for your odometer and clock, your right you should have just left it.

Sorry to see your now having problems 3 months later. Thats a bit frustrating to say the least im sure.
