1FastT2 Gauge Panels

Hey guys many years ago I use to make these panels for people on the board for $53 shipped to your door. I recently came across this one left over in my garage. Is there any interest in these anymore? If there is I can certainly have some more made up. I'm not sure I can do it for $53 anymore cause things have obviously gone up in price but I can see what I can do. Let me know your thoughts.

Slightly interested. Are those for 52mm or 60mm gauges?

There is definitely interest in these. I scoured the globe looking for one, but never found one. I ended up having LRB Speed fab me up one.

If one could be made to hold 3 52mm gauges I would buy one immediately (depending on price obviously). But I would be will to pay up to 120 shipped to my front door.

I had a few that held 3 gauges. Not sure if you made them or not, but they looked exactly the same, but just held 3 gauges instead of 2. I would buy one again for sure!

Please make some more of these. I really need one and my rewiring project is practically done. I need something to hold my 3 gauges and head unit.

I'm definitely interested. I had to mangle my metra dash kit to fit the stereo deck and a couple gauges

I had a couple..in my "gauge days"..(buying gauges like hotdogs!).I liked them as they fit perfectly on the surround and dash.

A curious question that I would like to toss out here would be if it would be possible to make them without ANY holes at all.
I find that time after time you cannot find any Stereo install kits and gotta scrounge the crap pile to get something to surround the aftermarket deck.
At least having a template that fits the stock hole in the surround would benefit anyone installing a deck..especially a 6 or 7 inch screened deck.

I too had one of these and it was superbly crafted...it amazed me how complex and well bent it was. Fit was perfect.

And then I sold it because that's a terrible place to mount any gauges you actually want to keep an eye on.

Not to thread jack but I find it difficult to actually get a perfect place to mount gauges.
Now,don't get me wrong,the holder is a great product but in my opinion The panel is good if the car is just a Daily N/A that doesn't need the constant monitoring that the Turbo setup would need.
Then again I find with gauges you are constantly staring at them more than you are enjoying the drive.

Yeah, I'm thinking the next iteration of my Because streetcar! gauge panel should be a big speedometer and a fuel gauge, with warning lights for oil, water, charging, etc.
Such simplicity is a luxury afforded only to NAs (or lazy 'Murican V-8s, like yours), not sure I'd be so cavalier with forced induction.
