So, this weekend we were buttoning up the Tribute Automotive Tach install. A normal days work. As I started to screw together the '67 dash panel I spied that the stock '68 dash panel Frank Fragellio, owner of Tribute Automotive, sent had a better speedo than our '67. Way better.
Bloody minutia.
I mean how much difference can it REALLY make? That speedo is a smaller part of the whole dash panel goodness which is a small part of the whole interior awesomeness...but the '67 speedo is tatty what with it's Sharpie fixed nicks and ham-fisted repair of the needle and "danger-too-fast" 70-120 orange sweep. Yep, compared to the gleaming perfection of Frank's '68 speedo our '67 looks like J Fred Muggs after a bad night of banana daiquiris and multiple packs of Pall Malls.
But it is just minutia. Right. Minutia that I'll be glancing at every time I drive the '67. And it will bug me. No end. Hmmmm where is Franks number....
