Made some headway on the aux gauge bracket this week.
Before:
After:
The intent was to create a bracket that (sort of) blended into the dash, looked clean, hid the backside of the gauges. I wanted to ensure it also looked aftermarket and well-built but not too "polished". I think the 1/4" reveal on the front and the "tabs" that wrap up behind the dash bottom really rounded out the look.
The bracket will contain all aux gauges, including the one that a PO bastardized the gauge panel with. Hopefully it'll see paint this weekend and I can get a set of SW gauges ordered.
Note: Absolutely no dash metal was harmed during the installation of the bracket. The bracket was attached using existing through-dash openings...
