Pic: Painted Gauge Faces/ Aluminum Bezels
Got a few pieces back from the shop today and installed the aluminum gauge bezel rings.
I'll be picking up the rest of the parts tomorrow and hope to have my interior back together in a couple days..

That is the sickest gauge I have ever seen! Will the numbers still be visible at night?

That looks hellaciously demonic.
But pretty damn cool! Very clever idea Jim.

Looks great, but a little difficult to read. Is that just the picture?

...Haven't had a chance to get installed and hooked up yet so don't know for sure...
I did add several extra LED lights to the gauge assembly so there shouldn't be any problems with visibility though....

Thanks Larry....
...I don't think there's going to be any problems reading the gauges after I get all the custom lighting completed...
The numbers are a little more visible than what appears in the pic...

Jim,
I can't wait to see it.
I promise I will bring better film next time (or a digital camera)!
All the best
