I think the hood tach is period correct and would complete it. Just part of your car to me though.

That looks great!  I know you were considering another color, but that really looks nice with the laser stripe.  I wouldn't change a thing (leave the tach off).:D

Im glad i stayed with my current color...its really different than any other 70 Vert i have seen.  The stripe kicks ass for sure, im really pleased with them.
