custom dash im working on


I got tired of having all non working factory gauges and some cheapo aftermarket.

Using sheet metal it took me roughly two hours of trimming and fitting to get it to look decent. I will be redoing it especially the gauges to the left to make them more even.

I have since then added an automated fuel level gauge to the bottom right

Also made a radio block off plate for my line lock switch and fuel pump switch

Cool didn't know you make this piece.

Might look cool to have it water transferred with some crazy pattern...or the standard carbon fiber.

Re: custom dash im working on

It's not the best. But when I redo it I want to block off the entire cluster. I wish I could find a template I could print out and cut it perfect.

It's not perfect but better than what I had and everything mounted solid.

Still need my trans temp and pressure gauge

Re: custom dash im working on

Are you putting in a radio?AC work?
I have an aftermarket radio where the vent goes if your not using AC.
I'm thinking to move the heat down to the old radio spot too.
