Re: Recessed Autometer Gauge build
Once the tunnels are all taped up, time to cut. The dremel makes quick work of them, and since the tape lines are there, gives me a nice line to follow for a pretty straight cut and matching start/stop points.
With the pieces removed, time to start sanding. The sanding block is small enought to fit in there to sand, but big enough to cover two tunnels at once. Using 100 grit paper, I sanded to top two tunnels until they were nice and smooth AND matced each other perfectly...same angle and height. Once I was happy with how they looked, I repeated the same process for the bottom two tunnels. Once all of them were complete, I came back with some 180 and smoothed them over some more.
Because this is an aftermarket bezel, I will need to come back and paint the cut portion of the tunnel black, just to be sure no "white" is seen from the front side of the bezel with the gauges installed.
