VW Bus Electric Conversion Part 9: Dashboard Cleanup #evconversion

Part 9 of a longer series on my 1978 Volkswagen Bus electric vehicle (EV) conversion. In this video, I replace the stock gauge cluster including the fuel gauge with LED dash lights that are simplified for an electric car. This includes figuring out the issue with the turn signal LED conversion. I also retrofit a Bosch tachometer into the blank clock area. Finally, I refurbish the Warp Drive display interface and create a custom radio blank plate to mount it using a cell phone holder.
