    Hey all, been away for a LOOONG time! But, I have been showing the Maverick and racing it a bit and having fun . Now, time for some upgrades to the interior. First Project:

    Anyone do anything with aftermarket gauges to replace the speedo, fuel etc.. If so, did you use the existing housing or custum something ? I think Lonnie (long time ago) had installed a new speedo to replace the old one but I do not recall if he also did the other side of the pod, i.e turn signals, fuel gauge etc. Just looking for ideas here.. Good to be back!:)

    I am getting ready to do mine now as well. I took the stock gauge cluster apart and measured. A pair of aftermarket 3 3/8 gauges will fit there really nice. As for the other gauges, I am going to use tubing and french them into the dash next to where the ash tray was.
