I epoxied a red-painted, toothpick-like piece of wood for my speedo needle.

Then my kid got me a gift certificate from RB's which had gone out of the restoration business in favor of hot rod stuff. I had to buy something. One of the things was a new speedo needle. One of these years I'll put it in.
