After seeing oj70chevy's gauge panel, I thought I should crack 2 of mine open and try it myself. Its not professional but for $15 and an hour or two here's what I came up with...

In the 1st pic is my GMC panel already painted and in front is my red Chevy's panel. I had already painted the glass black for the tach hole and 4 gauge holes below. It was time to repaint a new blue to match the interior...

The next 3 show the dis-assembly of the panel...
pic #5 shows the front of the where the gauge's fit into. Clean this with a good cleaner...
