After pulling this speedometer out of the dash it was clear it needs some work. Now let's get it back to its old self again.

I think speedometer will be just fine, the red is the important color.
As far as the odometer, you are completely rebuilding the car, and documenting it on YT, I wouldn't give it too much more thought.
Thanks for the video Matt! 👍

Hello Alvin. Thanks. I really like how it all came out. Character has been added to it along with a.good story of Dad sprying all the numbers of.. lol

Hello Matt. That odometer was a bugger. I think when trying to clean those old parts something like Windex needs to be used first. Even soaking in soapy Dawn soap and water probably would loosen up the gunk and not ruin the plastic or numbers.
I've also had issues with electronic cleaners that ruined plastic surfaces. The speedo repaint looked like it will be ok.
I was going to suggest painting the gauge indicators purple to match the car, but that might have made it too difficult to see them. Lol.

Hello George. So I do like the idea of soaking the parts. It's a little late for mine, but it's a good story of my dad blasting all the numbers off, so I'm keeping it as is. I never thought about the purple for the speedo.
