 I love to find cool new gauges, and these are unlike any I've seen before

 A barometer, or an altimeter? To adjust the carbs for rich or lean?
 The speedo, tach, and gas gauges are incredible...
 Litres d' Essence wow, what a great language!

This is the kind of infographic there aren't enough of: just simple, informative, cool, and automotive

 I dig the speedometer 6 in one guage set, the cool steering wheel, the ashtray, the timing stopwatch, and the "Speed King" drum set gas pedal (posted that a couple years ago http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=dynaliner)

 Cool old steering wheel stripped of some extra weight that isn't needed

I looked at the jerry cans, and they are all welded together, making a large fuel tank from many small ones.
