Hey that's awesome! I wish I could have someone make me a gauge panel for my passenger side dash, but I don't know anyone skilled enough :(

Lookin' good!

It wouldn't be easy to make one for the curved part of your dash, It would be pretty hard. But it would look killer. Have you looked at www.florida50.com they might have somethign for the new cars, I'm not sure.

lol nice observation 6T9, I knew something was missing but I couldn't figure it out. lol Looks real nice man, I'd imagin fairly easy to clean, but may be killer to others on a sunny day. lol :cool:
Always wanted to use the dude with the sun glasses. :D

hahaha Take it easy,

What kind of guages are you gonna put in it?

Coupe Devil 03-12-2002 10:38 AM

I'll be running all Autometer Sport-Comp Silver face and Ring guages. The dash will hold the Water temp, Oil pressure guages. I will mount my big ole Monster Tach to the top of the dash. I am gonan hang my shift light and low oil pressure light in front of me from teh roof of the car. I will also mount the fuel pump, fan, water pump, window and door switches in the dash as well. Gotta find a BIG FORD Emblem to stick on it to.

Brad

I'll be sure to post more when Its done.

Take care,

Yeah I have to make sure there isnt gonna be to much glare. If there is I will ahve to paint it. I dont want to but I will if I have to. I was more concerened wit hthe weight than looks but since it looks so good, thats just a bonus.

James-
Thanks!

Pony-
That's why I went with aluminum. It was still heavy, but worth it.

Take care,
