Custom Dash Insert

Hi guys,

Thought I would share a photo of the custom aluminum dash insert I am making for my 56. As can be seen, I am using the Autometer Ultra-Lite guages. I don't think I will finish polish this piece though. I am going to sand it down , and paint it white to go with the dash and add some contrast to the guages. I am either going to add the Chevy logo at the bottom to give it the "original" flair or add my Shamrock logo for the custom touch.
