...Using wood (home depot, $5), vinyl material (car stereo shop, $10), thin headliner foam (between the vinyl and wood, from a car seat upholstery shop, $6), and a jigsaw. Oh yeah, and a compass for the circle cutouts (CVS, $2). Sure beats $180 or whatever from BMP.

Made a cardboard cutout to get the size right then cut the panel and the holes. The key? A few practice dry-runs.

Email me if you need more details.

Finished installing a custom gauge panel today. Made it myself. Ditched the ashtray in favor of gauges. Thought about including the cig lighter in the panel, but I don't smoke! It's tough to tell from the photo but it is a sweet, clean, perfect fit.

Installed fuel pressure, air/fuel, volts, and water temp. Already have oil pressure and temp on top of dash.

If anyone needs any part numbers for any of this let me know 'cause it took me some time to track it all down.

I'll post some more pics soon.

Did you make that? If not, where did you buy it? Thanx. Peace.
