You have def stepped up the # of videos! Sunday morning fabforums videos. Id rather watch your videos than the Sun morn diy car shows that ive watched since i was a kid! Keep up the good work bro
awesome. thanks for watching
I also use Rust-Oleum high gloss white in the cluster housing makes the gauges 10x brighter!!!
I usually get a spray can of fluorescent orange spray paint or safety paint and spray a little bit into a cup (Let it dry out a little to thicken up.) and use an 'art' or model paint brush. Meguiers actually makes a plastic lens polish. Good tip, it DOES make a huge difference because it's something you're looking at all the time whether you notice it or not. The other thing is dust gets behind the lens and diffuses the light at night making them hard to read.
Good steady hand. My go-to is Reynolds Parchment Sheets for detail work like this. If prepared for the f'up golden. Not preparing.. well yeah you know what happens. Good call on the polish. Meguiar's Plast-X will clean-up most unless too far gone already.
The level of detail you apply to your projects is fantastic, Kyle. Too rushed and it looks like just that... too much time invested, you never get anything accomplished. The way you go about it is just about perfect. Excellent work, my man! As always, thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Thanks
simple stuff but yet so noticeable
Nice work Kyle... Looks great.... Excellent tip.. Quick and easy and makes a huge difference...
thanks
Looks good. Another option is Testors model car paint in flourescent orange for the needles. Used that stuff for years and it's a lot less expensive. Keep the videos coming
I could see that. It was important to me to have an exact match though
Great vid , this will help me a bunch I have a 70 k5 blazer that needs this done. Thanks
cool. glad i could help
Man that came out cleeean. Ive used sharpies in the past but the end results look good with the paint
Another sick video brotha. It's always in the details!
for sure
looks great. I suggest that anyone doing this slip a piece of paper behind the needle before painting. makes the job a lot easier and eliminates the possibility of ruining the face.
true that
nice and clean 👍.. you should swap out the dash bulbs for Philips Led bulbs.
I had another suggest that....gonna look into it
TRUE! It's the DETAILS THAT COUNT!
Excelente trabajo, me gusta la camioneta, yo tenía una 68 caja californiana, y como la extrañó. Saludos y Gracias.
beautiful work Kyle! keep it up. always look forward to what's next...
thanks
simple and good advice
Man that's the amazing passion you don't see much of these days! keep it up ! hey was woundering about that skull and cross wrenches on the peg board was for sale possibly?
nah thats what the channel logo came from
I have a tattoo I had drawn and it's exactly the same! Awesome..
love these type of videos
For some reason I quit doing these quick and simple how to's
Maybe more like this help your goal for 200+ this year now do work son! Lol
looks awesome!!..
FYI we have used finger nail polish on the needles
keep up the great work son!!..lol
thanks for sharing
I realize this was 5 years ago but was wondering if nail polish was too heavy for the needle?
@@k9mike966 not at all, we used light coat but worked just fine
@@barnyardgarage thank you! I just did mine after I got your reply with neon orange the wife picked up yesterday. Looks much better. 👍
Nice Touch
thanks
AR armorers tool hanging in the background. nice
lol
proper !!
Wow !
Where can I get that bed liner stuff you were talking about I want to try it out
Good job dude, I like it! :)
Thanks
nice and clean
thanks
Nice AR. what rail you running on the forend?
nice work
Great vid bro!!!!
thanks
Awesome dude
thanks
You should replace all the cluster bulbs with LED's. They really transformed the dash illumination on my Fox and are nice and cheap.
I will have to see if they have some for the old c10's
I was curious so I googled it lol

The devil is in the details. Looks super clean now Brother.
Tim datoolman i know right. makes me feel pretty pumped for when i start a project of my own
thanks
great video but can you show us the dash lit up so we can see how the paint drys on the needles
I can, but on these older style clusters the needles them selves dont light up.
The Fab Forums I see makes sense why you didn't show the dash lite up.. lol.....looks great. I would like to do my dash needles on my 95 mustang GT but need to look into finding the right brand to do it. could you recommend a company that is good for painting the needles that light up?
What do you use for the white lettering (fine brush and paint font always work for me
I didnt redo the white...its still the origanal
Ahh I see
I like how the gun sitting there too bro
waiting on some love
hey kyle fedex wanted a hazmat fee for shipping that ceramic coating to you, so Ill get it out as soon as I can.
no biggie
guys run out and pay big bucks for replacement parts. you just saved someone good money.
I hope it helps someone out
The key is, I have little funds. The detail items you point out don't cost much. Just takes effort. Much appreciated.
$12 nail polish?
I like the original look...nail polish gas a gloss look that doesnt look factory
$12 dollars holy crap. Id just use some dollar store nail polish.
Well some of these gauges are fluorescent and you wont achieve that with nail polish. Like he said its all the the details.
Yeah an exact match is worth the extra few bucks
omg is that a fully semiauto assault rife #dumbliberals
