I'll give you $60 for the set you bought off Ebay, shipped of course.

I consider it a Perry Tribute Piece. Lightly used!
Don't spend your Saturday nights mixing epoxy on my behalf!
But I'll gladly take a fresh one if you'd prefer.. keep the tribute for your mantel!

Geez, guys, don't let my joke kill this thread and Brian's great offer.
Seriously, though, Perry, do you WANT to spend the time on this project now that you know a cheaper 'cloned' option is available to all of us?
Back when you did the design and made the first batch were you looking to get rich, or answer a call for a product that did not exist?
Do you have better things to do than fiddle for a couple of days and breathe some solder fumes for a couple of benjis?
I'd take my dog for a walk, catch a fish or work in the yard for years before I'd try to improve on a 'fair' cheap product from overseas for what I'd call a very limited (yet well gathered) market.
If you are ready to mix epoxy, please tell me where to pay-pal you.

LOL Dan!

I made the first set for me. After driving with them for a short time (I worked the night shift back then), I realized that they were so much better than the other options at the time so I started making small batches.

I don't mind spending some time in the evenings making these again. My son is really interested in helping (as much as a 4 year old can).

I'll PM everyone individually when your set is ready to ship. You can PayPal or I can process credit cards directly through my shop.

Any chance you’d take my climate control unit and A/C etc. switches, and solder in amber LED bulbs? I do not like how much heat those switches and buttons throw off when in use.

You get much more light wash on the entire gauge package. It really brightens up the interior. If the climate control wasn't so delicate and hard to work with, I'd offer a retrofit kit for it.

Anyway, back to the cluster lights, looking forward to your "we're in bidness" post.

Thanks SeaCay for responding about the climate control. I've added the new requests to the order list starting on page 4.

As a reminder.. NO MONEY IS DUE UNTIL YOUR SET IS READY TO SHIP. I will PM you directly at that time. I hope to be shipping units early December, possibly sooner.
