[quote="stswartz"]I'm dealing with some of the same issues. Is there a simple way of getting the odometer to 0000.

I'm doning a frame off restoration and would like to get the milage reading back to 0

well i have done it by taking the odometer apart but i would not really call it simple as you need to be careful or it wont work right.
easiest way is finding one with 99xxx miles on it and turning it until it gets back to 00000.0

A speedometer shop will probably do it fairly cheaply on an "exempt" vehilce. They will probably affix a sticker stating the as-found mileage, but most will put it on the back of the speedo on an exempt (beyond statutory age) application. . It's a pretty simple task on the old vehicles.
