Nice presentation.  That is quite the collection.  How did you get them to present in that fashion?

Thank you.  ;D

Not sure exactly what you asked though.

Its about eight years worth of pics. Tim's wagon isn't in there yet, and I can't seem to find any pics of my blue wagon with wood grain sides anywhere. So there are at least two missing, not to mention Tommy's lifted Grand Wagoneer Sport. He had 38 inch mudders and a 360 four barrel. That thing was sick.

So you replaced the Sun tach with an OE one?  Kind of nifty how that sun tach was done.  OE looks better but with so few working OE ones that was not a bad alternative.

Nope yer backwards. The current pics are first and the ones as I bought it are the second set.

I put the Sun tach in cause the factory was shot. I was hoping to get it working but when I pulled it, it kinda fell apart.

Kind of nifty how that sun tach was done.  OE looks better but with so few working OE ones that was not a bad alternative.

Thank you, I thought it looked pretty good myself. I hate column or dash mounted tach. If you can't go hood mount or dash mount you don't need it that bad. The Sun mini tach faits in the dash like a glove. All I did was take a piece of thin 1/4" plywood (luan) and cut it so that it was presure fit in the hole. Cut out the center for the Tach and painted it flat black. If I want to remove it it just 'pops' out. Not drilling no glue, no dmagae to the factory parts. Just the way I like it.

Since the four console gauges were defunct as well I did the same thing there. Painted a piece of luan after trimming it to fit and cut out the triple gauge holes. I think I used the factory retaining stuff to hold that one in place. Can't remember exactly what I did there, I remember screws or nuts being involved though.

After I hooked them all up and tied them into the dash dimmer it was like new.  ;D

I like guages that don't interfere with the factory. What I mean by that is I don't like drilling or screwing anything into my dash, ever. So I try and fit stuff where ever I can without damaging anything. You never know, some day my car might be in a bone yard somewhere and somebody may need a factory condition dash to restore a car. I've passed up parts so many times because somebody felt the need to bolt something to a dash board or cut a radio hole to shreds. I'll pull air vents out to mount guages if I have to. I can live with just a defroster and floor heat....

I agree, I don't like new holes in the dash or elsewhere.  Good Job!

Looks good to me.  That is a novel way to display your Eagle.  Just plug it into the appropriate brochure for your year.

it's just a wee touch of photoshop!

i took the picture on a nikon D50 with a 50mm lens at about 40 yards. there was some really nice early morning light that day. i cropped, clone tooled out the quarry's equipment across the street and added a .gif amc logo from the web with a drop shadow. warmed up the colors a bit the way the amc graphic design folks would have in the early 80's.

here's the original for reference:

I like that picture.  I have nominated it for the calendar, but I do not know how to get your faux picture to the "October Nomination" topic.

Right click on the image.  Choose properties.  Highlight and copy the location url.  Then go to the topic you want to post in.  type in the first img tag then paste the url in and then type in the other img tag.  make sure to include the "/" after img and don't forget the brackets.

I have to ask. What is the thing on top of the dash board?
