Finished my gauges

Since I got so much attention on the facebook group I figured I should post my guages here. Center gauge is machined out of a block of delrin with multi layered vynal graphics. The 3 windows back light with check engine, high beams, and cruise control. Carbon inlay was cnc cut on my plotter. The back retaining plate is all laser cut 22ga steel welded to the original retaining lip.

Re: Finished my gauges

Im not a carbon fiber fan so my personal taste would be the stock black, the rest of it looks really nice. You sure do excellent work.

Re: Finished my gauges

I sure appreciate the craftmanship. It would be hard to get used to the gadges in different spots.

Re: Finished my gauges

I too would use a stock bezel but the gauges look nice. I would use that in my truck if I had it sitting in my shop. Of course then I'd have to buy a 6.0 too. Wouldn't want false advertising.
