check out these gauges! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mamato2 · 10-23-2009, 12:43 PM

Just got these gauges in from speedhut - they did a fantastic job. Now i need some opinions on what type of dash panel (bezel?) to get. Guys are a lot better at being able to envision the finished product before it is done. I've been browsing pics on these forums. I can't decide if I should get the stock panel and paint it red, get an engine turned design, brushed aluminum or try to have someone fabricate a metal one and paint it red. Any ideas? I included a few pics so you can see what i have done so far.

That would be the OP, hence the username Mama-to-2......

I'd definitely swap those wagon wheels next. I'd go with the engine turned aluminum.

x2 for engine turned

Thats what I ended up ordering today. Eventually I want to cover the dash pad with leather to match the seat. The door panels will be covered with red leather and white flames this winter, so I will probably put chrome door handles on. I think the engine turned will look good too. As far as the price, it was up there, but speedhut sent all the new wiring and sending units i will need, so between that and the custom work, i think the price was good. They backlit the red flames with red lights and the white with white. Can't wait to see it at night!!
