I have been looking at my speedometer and wondering how and if it can be restored. Just recently I received an email suggesting I go to UTUBE and check out "1929 Willys Whippet First test Drive". I noted the beautiful job this gentleman did on his instrument restoration. I got hold of him and he is the newsletter editor of "The Running Board" the official publication of the Edmonton Alberta Vintage Car Club. He suggested I go to their archives at

Click on the April 2013 edition for information on how to make new dial facia. Not sure I have the patience to tackle this but this is a great resource for those who might.
