Im going the cheap route on the guages and re-using what I had. I didn't intend to make the final panel but you know the saying, if you give a mouse a cookie. The short story is since I am using a mechanical temp guage I need to get the guages and panel straightened out before I do anything :(. They are just barely sitting in the dash ... need to do some trimming. The panel came out much better then I expected. Notice the lack of a speedo ... Ill be using a wet finger out the window to check my speed:).
