I did not paint the sides but I will get them done and add the new photos by Tuesday night. As far as the water temp gauge- I added that to try and bring some personality into the car as much as know how she was running. I also have a tachometer and the mount that will go with the car, I did not like how it looked with the two together. As far as the starter it is a 12v geared, if you look close in the photo you will see where I put the fuse to protect everything. Also mentioned was the height of the car. My driveway is on a small hill otherwise the center fender height is 32 3/4 front and rear. Brakes are all original mechanical, car stops great, all 4 brakes were sent out to Mel's Model A Service .
