Another machining request - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone interested in machining a dash bezel for me? I'm looking to machine a semi-stock "idiot light" style bezel with a few mods. It needs to be able to rear mount the stock gauges (I imagine this can be as simple as a few staunchions in the right place to align with the factory gauge unit holes or as intricate as a machined indentation where the gauge unit sits in).

I have access to some intermediate CAD drawings (see 3D models below courtesy of Slammed67), but a couple of the dims aren't yet firmed up.

If you do this kind of work or know someone who does, please PM. I'm aware of the several aftermarket offerings in this area but they don't quite meet my very specific needs.

I bought my dash bezel from a person on this site. I will look for who later (the bookmark is on my laptop) I think he had a couple of other options.. Mike

Thanks. Just sent him a note. I had talked with one of the board members making bezels a couple of years ago (not sure if it was Mr. Beast), but the guy didn't seem the least bit interested in the work. We'll see.
