Check out my new guages!

I made this at work, it came out pretty good. The panel the guages are mounted to is made out of 304 Stainless Steel and mounts up like it was factory, watcha guys think?

Ahh yes the lovley red interior. Mine is actually brown now from previous owners. I kinda have the same guage setup in my car, but I have no stereo, and I just got a piece of ABS plastic from my local stereo shop. works/looks good. I only wish they were angled a bit

Its mounted just like you would mount one if you bought it from a store. I used a $500k CNC punch press to cut it out for me, I program that machine here at work. The holes are 2-1/16".

The ones in the pic are oil temp, oil pressure, and water temp, On the pillar I have, boost, A/R ratio and EGT. I figured I better have some accurate readings for the new engine and Haltech.

what about whole center console w/ a space for the radio, logicon, and louvers. the guage holes there and the part around shifter. how much would that be. and 35 for that one piece seems a little high.

Look on EBay. I made 4 of them just because I knew that I would screw up a couple trying to bend them at first. My friend stole it from me and put it up for sale.

Sure I can make more if there are enough people who want them. I kinda owed my friend for all the work hes been doing on my car so I didn't really care all that much.

Sod: How far are you away from Reading? I just noticed that you were from York.
