link- I say make the car the way you want it especially if your going to keep the car. Why spend $360 plus shipping plus bodywork & paint to get a different hood only to have the original hood sitting around with the possibility of damage or theft if your going to keep the car anyway. It would probably be cheaper to fix the hole in your hood if you ever decide to go back than the initial install of a different hood. Good luck.

As far as I know, white cars were the only ones with blacked-out tachs. I'd do it body color (silver). Friend has a white RAIV Judge with white tach/wing. IMO looks better than black.
428..thanks for the info! I'm emailing him tonite about ford tach. If he can find that it was a dealer option I can almost guarantee he'll have 1 next year!! If you were curious, he as a special order 70 cyclone spoiler 429CJ that makes 70 hemi cuda verts look common place (1 of 3 and they can't find the other 2). Yea, I know, it's not a hemi vert and it never will be, but an awesome car nonetheless. He has all documentation on the car, so if not a dealer option he'd never do it, BUT.......if a dealer option...he'll be on ebay till he finds 1!! Thanks again!
Oh, yea, I repeat...link, paint yours silver, in my opinion. I think it will look better and you'll never have to hear anyone say, "only white cars had black tachs!"

I just went and did a little searching and it looks like they were mostly dealer installed on 69 and 70 boss and Mach 1 mustangs. Its possible that they could have been on others of the era but thats all i found in a brief search. Good luck!

As GtoGuy said, don't get a repro hood and leave the original one lying/hanging around........guaranteed you'll back into it with your quad.

Merry HO HO to all! Thanks

Does your car have a tach in the dash? Hood tach sounds great - wish I had one on mine, but two tachs will look kind of funny.

Thats why you get an in dash clock to replace the in dash tach, It's too bad they are such a pain to change though. Dash removal is pretty much necessary I think, at least partially.

I like the hood tach, and i would keep the car looling original with a silver one. Also, it is good to see you have kept the original outside mirror. I love the look of the original chrome remote mirror.

My friend's 72 has one- installed it myself. Dale couldn't do it, or even watch... It is funny to see people about twist their necks off looking at it on the road.

I know it will look silly w/ 2-tachs but the one indash has a rev limitor in it! As of right now the dash is quiet & has no squeaks. Hood tach will be going on "Silver". I will through a pic out there in a couple months Thanks, Cheers.
