    The cluster is priced at $75, seems pretty reasonable.

    Hi folks.
    The Leviathan has a battery and maybe next Saturday we’ll take it for a spin around the block.

    That thing looks really good, Gui. I know you can't wait to test it out. I'm tickled by how tiny the Morgan looks in comparison. Thank you for this thread, it's one of my favorites.

    Sounds terrific! I bet that thing is not easy to steer especially when not moving. Thanks for sharing GUI.

    The engine is brand new.
    I believe with time the engine will run more freely and cooler.

    No need to explain Gui, I know the feeling one gets driving there hot rod for the first time. I know I had a grin from ear to ear when I've driven mine. You did good.

    LOL... That's great!

    I love the overall persona of your creation. Somewhat imposing with its large size... cool.
    Yet, so vintage in style,
    it makes everybody smile.

    I still wanna see you doin' about 100 km/h down a dirt road.

    So did the police in the armored vehicle escort you home? Such a cool car! Well done.

    I wonder if people see that and think "My grandfather had one just like that!" Great job, Dr., looking forward to more in the future.

    Fantastic, I hope you can find someplace to run it "flat out". After running 70 with one of these in a 14,000 lb fire truck, you might be very surprised!:eek:

    I've been following & loving your thread, Gui. Keep up the great work & vision. I believe Beanscoot is right with the gauge panel he showed being from a Seagraves firetruck. Stewart-Warner made these gauges & they were often used in various vehicles & boats. Here's one that I have that is identical to the one he has pictured, except this one has a REO logo on it. These gauges fit into 6" holes. However, I'm guessing that from the numerous gauge holes in your dash, you'll probably be using a different collection of period gauges? May I ask, what is the diameter of the small holes?
