Custom Work
Custom Made Gauge Panels
Before
the body off restoratiom only the water temperature gauge
was showing accurate readings so I decided to ditch the
whole stock system in favour of some cool Autometer
Ultra-Lite gauges. I got the 200mph 5" Mechanical speedo,
10K Rpm 5" Tach. For the center gauge cluster I installed
Water Temp., Oil Pressure, Fuel Level and Volt gauges along
with a matching Quartz Clock all in 2 5/8 size.
We
mounted the Speedo and Tach in stock location, but we machined
a cool billet aluminum panel for them first. Oval shaped
holes were made for the instrument lights. For the center
cluster we used sheet aluminum and mounted all 5 gauges
to it.We also made a new center console from the same material.
In the center console we mounted a A/C and heater control
panel from Vintage Air.
Nice detail is the stainless steel shifter hole surround,
polished of course.
