    Great project. One thing you might consider is how the solder joints are going to hold up long-term. Without strain relief some of those joints might break off as you drive, if for example a long piece pf wire is hanging off of a solder joint and just hanging loose behind the panel. the forces of driving will swing it back and forth until it breaks off, solder joints are quite brittle. Some hot glue can go a long way

    You just SOLDERED the dial points to another dial! Its Genius!! I'm always terrified of throwing the simplest of even analog electronics into my small projects, but I respect the way you roll with the punches until you figure it out. Can't even imagine doing a whole dash. Awesome channel!

    This video; I stumble on Evans channel recently have have found a butt-load of useful tips and handy info.
    I’ve also really enjoyed the filmmaker quality.
    Overdubs, b-roll, out takes all add to the personalization of this type of filmmaking.
    All of the films are done in a way that takes the fear out of home DIY, perfection is the enemy of good enough..
    But this video, this video here caused me so much anxiety I wasn’t able to finish it.
    Perhaps, now that I’m writing this…the obstacle is the way.
    Or not.
    Great stuff.

    I don't know if you see comments on year-old videos, but you might want to consider a floor-mounted high-beam switch like they did it in the '60's. You can use a guitar stompbox switch & just run it in parallel with (or before, if you want to have a master shutoff) the switch on the dash.
