WTB Instrument cluster (loaded) for 63 Bullet w/ chrome in decent condition.

I bought a Craftsman top and bottom box back when Sears still owned the brand and over the course of a few years loaded it up. I used to restore classic VW bugs so I had a bevy of metric stuff but loaded up on SAE as well. At that time they were selling pretty complete combo metric/SAE sets by drive...

Well done, I imagine it feels good to get past the paint and on to the next thing.

And?

I just went through this on my 63. I doubled my clearance issues by installing a 3" aluminum radiator from Wizard cooling. Of course I never put all these pieces together in my head before I ordered it? Duh! I digress, Derale makes a 16" fan which if I remember right I had just a hair unde...
