An even easier method to dim the LED's would be to use a BuckPuck, just be sure to get one with dimming. You could use UV LED's or use a Royal Blue either will Florese
Nice build so far by the way!

OK. Sorry for the delay. I have been helping Whadeduck clean his shop. Anyway I have the tach working now. The driver's side goes straight across and the passenger side is inverted. I also had to remove the needle and reset it. This is easy. I say that but I fried the volt meter portion of the Camaro board.
Pics coming soon.
Thanks,

The next question I have is on gauge lighting.
The Corvette gauges are front lit. Should I use leds (it is my understanding that you cannot dim them) or bulbs? I am mounting them where the Covette black lights were.
Thanks for your opinions!

I really don't know why so many people are convinced you can't dim LEDs. I put LEDs in my Blazer in the instrument panel and all the switches, and they dim just fine off of the stock dimmer without any sophisticated driver circuits or anything. I just used standard 5mm crystal white LED's and resistors to drop the voltage. I suppose it's possible that some LEDs may not be dimmable, I don't claim to know everything, but I *do* know that regular old LEDs can be dimmed without getting complicated.

SORRY IT HAS BEEN SO LONG!!! I have had a lot going on in my life. I went to Wyotech. Got electrocuted by a welder. Have lost most of the use of my left hand.
Anyway, the car is running and rewired. All we have to do now is put the interior back in the car. It should be back together by the end of the week.  .
Any ideas if fiberglass will help extend the dash?
Talk soon!
Paul
