The nickle kick panel was bought as is. I put maskin tape on it, so I wouldnt scratch the finish, while doin all the cuttin.

Got the guages at O'Rielly's. They are Eiquus (sp?).

Mine is a 63' so the dash is a bit different. I do have the factory tach. It is just a mater of changing the color from Black/White to Silver/Black.

Strodder · 01-20-2009, 04:25 PM

I have the same gauges. How did you get the dark lettering?

I installed Dakota's Digital Gauges in a 56 Chevy, and didn't like it when in the sun. It was very hard to read. They looked cool though.

redsean · 02-10-2009, 11:56 AM

for guys that like to run after market gauges, dimple dies(chasie punches) work great they make a hole and a resess that alows the gauge to fit flush and looks realy finished.

my .02

(and sorry i dont have pic of the ones i have done, old comp died

Strodder · 02-10-2009, 12:01 PM

Haneline has a nice panel for $160.00

DaddyMack · 02-11-2009, 07:06 PM

Ummmmm

I just did this... When I added up the cost of the gauges... etc. it wasn't much more, and wiring was unbelievably easy... saved a lot of time... especially everytime I have to remove it an put it back.. one ribbon cable.. oh and no problem in the sun... and dim works perfectly with lights...
