Finally!!! I have pics to show of my custom speedometer!

I dont have a digital camera but I do have a scanner. I got bored and put the speedometer directly on the scanner to see how it would come out. Not bad but a little out of focus. It was an original 85 mph speedo that I cleaned the face off of, painted black and had a sign shop print custom stickers that shine good when backlit at night. I spaced out 0 to 85mph exactly with another original speedometer and added numbers to 100. I had to cut the trip meter button short so it would not block the needle at high speeds. I used metal rod I kept in the glove box to reset the trip meter. I made this in 98 and removed it when I sold the car in 02. Spend 40 bux to have the stickers made and my labor was free. What do you think?
