Gauges previously purchased at the French & Italian Car Show at Woodley Park -- Cleaned the glass... Looks much better...

As purchased...

As purchased...   Need to take the trim ring off & get the rust off & paint?  (don't want to spend the money for chrome work...  the chrome job will cost more than the gauge...)


Don't know what vehicle this is from (Jaeger -- Made in France).  The Oil pressure gauge and the coolant temperature gauges were bought "loose" with this speedometer.  Cleaned & installed the two inner gauges...  Still missing the fuel gauge and whatever was at the bottom of this gauge...

This is the other gauge.  Removed the bezel and "cleaned" it up.  This gauge is for the Italian market (labels are in Italian).  Don't know what it's from either.  Could be from a Lancia...  Or?

Part 6: From the Long Beach Swap Meet (11/8/2015) -- Toyota Gold Badge Kit & Kennedy Tool Box



Didn't know that these types of Gold Badge kits were OEM (accessory).  The part # starting with PT indicates an accessory part.  Since it's manufactured in March of 2002, it's for a Camry from 5 or 6 generations ago...  The shift knob (AT) was in the box too...

Yet another Kennedy Machinist's tool box (sitting in front of 3 others in this picture...).    This is the larger width box (I had 3 of these already & one is shown directly behind with the drawer labels).  Someone fabricated a hinged front lid for the drawers out of diamond plate and riveted the cover in place.  It doesn't match but it's actually been nicely fabricated and fits well.  They had to weld in receptacles in the top of the lid (not visible when closed) for the locking pins to go into (when the top lid is closed, the pins come down & lock the front lid in place).  I think I'll spray paint the lid to be a little closer in color to the box (or remove the front cover all together...).  Didn't really need yet another Kennedy tool box but the price was such that it was impossible to pass up...  Whatever number you're guessing, it was even less!
