I finished building my 69 fury dash Tach today

[Welder guy]

Great looking tach.... I'm installing the dash on my 69 sport fury now and also restoring a 69 Polara 500... is there any chance your going to produce a few for sale? Thanks, Dave

I'm just selling the graphics to install over the clock face , its a 2 piece graphic first the black backing goes on the clock face then the white numbers go on to the black backing . I'm not at this time building the entire tach conversion. I just don't have the time. I've never been so busy at work these days .

How was The install of the decal on the clock face ? It’s good to have a steady hand. If you can find a tack like the 2” one I used, the new needle fits on to its shaft nicely. The 2 1/2 tach I first had didn’t work nearly as well. Check eBay for them !

It wasn't to bad just took my time making sure to line everything up nice. The material used is awesome i got lucky and had a spare cluster without a clock so there is no hole to fill in. I'll be searching around for a small tac thanks for the help again.

Hey the bezel with no clock adjustment hole is the perfect choice for the tach conversion ,It looks perfect ! I’m going to have to keep my eye out for one of those now. Keep me up dated with pictures.

That would be great.

Nice clean tach install, sharp looking fury too!

Have you found a good source for the stainless button that's mounted to the needle yet?

 

[Welder guy]

Not yet .

Well finally I’m installing the the tach . I thought what the hell let’s install the 8 track as well ,That part is easy ,, it will be in combination with a modern pioneer System . what’s coming next Will probably upset a few people. I’m going with a custom auto sound dual voice coil 4x10 in the dash with a 6x9 dual voice coil custom auto sound speaker in the back seat . I’m fitting the left and right dash speakers with a couple of new 4” speakers in the dash . The trunk has a small 10 inch sub and I have 6” 2 ways in the front kick panels ( no there not the original panels, I still have those ! ) . I have always loved my music , Roy Orbison on a hot August night at a drive-in was always a winner for me . Here are a few pictures , i’m about halfway through installation . The more modern pioneer deck is going into the glove box .

The plastic backseat cover Thing ( i’m not sure the name but moparts reproduces it ) was very brittle . This is what I ended up doing.

 

[Welder guy]

The hard black plastic upper backseat cover was very brittle and it was in very bad shape on my car so I just trimmed off the broken pieces and went with a home made speaker cover for the back . I tried to keep it as clean looking as I could . I realize moparts sells the cover but I haven’t ordered one yet .

 

[Welder guy]

I guess I should mention the dual voice coil speakers allow me to have both left and right stereo Into 1 speaker . This works quite well with These old cars. I just want good tunes , I don’t need the neighbours to listen to my music . Unless they really want to

 

[Welder guy]

Here’s a couple of pictures of the kick panel speakers . ( these are not the original panels I have been using a couple from a parts car )

I cleaned up the dash bezel parts And polished out all the cloudiness and scratches from the clear speedometer and tachometer lenses with and optical grade rubbing compound . I used A MOLOTOW liquid chrome Marker for the chrome detailing around the switches , speedometer and tachometer edging . This stuff was damn expensive but looks good!! It works well for detailing small chrome plastic parts . The next step is to have the clock adjust hole filled in by a friend of mine that owns an automotive vinyl / plastic restoration shop . That man does wonders with grills , dash bezels and interior parts .

Nice detail work Marlow, I use a silver paint pen from hobby lobby, sorry don't have a C dash to show, but I do have a B dash bezel and just did the pick up bezel as well (no pic)

Can you give a quick run down of how the dash comes apart ? On a B body, you need to pull the windshield in order to access the screws, which, you've obviously not had to do.

Thanks
