    Strange Thing Happened Tonight

    Just thought i would show you what can be done. I got a set of white face gauges for my commy, however the dealer said, no way would they fit. (Typical) they told me for about 800$ plus any extra work they would supply the gauges wire them in and replace the dash surround (if they could). So...
