Who Wants a Backlit Dash? (Again)

[Jim Reeve <ultra@xxxx>]

Ok, I really thought there would be more interest for this. However, I
have only gotten 2 or 3 responses from people interested in a backlit
dash. I need about 20 people to make this cost effective, So I am
reposting my original message from last week just in case anyone
interested missed it. If I still dont get any responses, I guess I will
simply not be able to do this.

My message from last Thurs. night as follows...

I have recently been taking apart my instrument cluster to
see the total
involvement in making a backlit dash. After finding it to
be a bit more
involved than I hoped for, (and frying an IC on my tach.),
I talked to a
person who has worked with this stuff before. It turns out
that this
person could help me considerably, and end up with a final
product
looking 99% stock. It will also be possible to have
several different
speedometer faces. A stock 85, 140, or 170 will all be
possible. 
Metric faces would also be possible if requested. To stay
similar with
the center console, all white lettering will be
illuminated green, and
the orange, red, and blue will illuminate with their
respective colors. 
I am also considering illuminating the "DMC" logo on the
left side. And
finally, the white needles will illuminate, in white.

Now here is where all of you come into play. I realize
that some of you
have ordered the digital dash from Dakota Digital for
about $800, and
this is a very similar situation. Due to the initial cost
of making the
custom faces out of special plastic, I would need an
initial order of 20
dashes to make this all possible. If I get 20 orders or
more, the price
would be around $250 dollars. This would be a nice way to
get the dash
to look more modern at a fraction of the cost of an all
digital one, not
to mention your choice of a speedo face. There is one
other catch, this
should be a 99% reversible mod, but you would need to send
me your WHOLE
assembled binnacle to install it. Installation should take
about 1-2
weeks. It would probably take a few months for
development, so
unfortunately it may not be ready before winter storage
season is over.

I ask that anyone who would be interested in this, to
email me
directly. My email is ultra"at"isd.net. Just remember,
this is still
all preliminary, but if I get 20 interested people, there
is a good
chance this will happen.
