    Default Bean, How are the new gauge faces?

    Did you get them installed?

    I'm about to go R&R my driver's side window. It's slow.
    ...and across the line.

    Yes I did and they're great! Thanks again.

    I also made an aluminium panel for the dash.... I'll post some photos in a bit.

    Here ya go... although, with the dash lights on, the blue doesn't photograph so well. But they look great in person!

    Looks familiar... You didn't paint your needles though!

    The alluminum panels look good. Better than gaping holes in the dash.

    Thanks!

    Nope, I didn't paint the needles... perhaps later, but for now it doesn't bother me.

    If you want to scrape 'em and paint 'em, I still have a small bottle of Testers model paint - translucent red.

    The gauge faces and needles were a plug and play deal... so all of twenty minutes or so.

    The panel took abit longer with resizing and cutting and reshaping with a Dremel... about an hour or so.
