Modded '87 Bird Gauge Template: Opinions

Basically, I've used Unforgiven's base model for the gauges, ncluding the colours, etc...some had to be resized, and sharpness was lost during the .jpg conversion, so I redid some of the text...finally, I figured the Bird lgo added to it. Opinions?

Excellent! Let's see the other gauges, too

It is my hope that thirdgen members will soon have such excellent gauges to choose from that they won't have to do anything other than print these freebies

I agree. Some things just shouldn't cost so much and it would be cool to see a resource where someone could just download some gauges for their car and go from there.

Sorry okfoz, I gave the credit to Unforgiven because I got them off of his site, didn't see any referral to who created them, so I assumed they were his. =) Thx!

You like this?

Adjust its size until it prints out at 5 3/4 inches from one side of the grey circle to the other. It should then be close enough to work really well for you.

And here is a colourful Iroc Z tach. Set this one to print at precisely 5 1/2 inches from once side of the black circle to the other. Colour laser printers are best. Use good heavy 50 lb. paper if possible.

In case you need kilometers per hour, seeing as you are from BC. This will work perfectly on those 85 or 90 mph--or 140 kph-- gauges

Hey, sure thing, I'll have to redo it again, but it's not difficult (I never actually saved that image...) Hit me with an email, azure@speedline.ca , and I'll send it to you ASAP.

For the guy that wanted IROC gauges, I just uploaded mine to my webpage. The link is in the sig. I took the km/h numbers and also took out the spot for the trip meter since mine doesn't work, but I think they looks good.
