Hey everyone. Just wanted to get some opinions on my gauge set I

made. I drew it up in auto cad on the computer and then cut it out

on a plasma table. It's made out of 16ga stainless steel and then bushed.

I personally think it turned out good.

Thanks for your time.

WOW, almost 70mph @ 1200rpm while sitting still. :D

Seriously, the gauges look nice. Get the dash all cleaned up and repainted/dyed, fix the stereo cutout and it will look pretty slick! :thumbsup:

Does the 16 gauge still contour to the bend of the dash?

The blinkers look really good. Is that an oil light below them, or high beams?

How do you plan to make green light come through the blinker cutouts?

The light below them is a high beam light. I do plan on putting green L.E.D. for the turn signal and blue L.E.D. for the high beem.

As for the 16gauge contour the dash. It doesn't cause the gauges would not fit in there right then.

thanks
