Default gauge/switch panel i made

I made this today out of some scrap aluminum. Still needs some touching up. Also made one that is for 2 gauges.

Can use double sided tape, epoxy, drill holes and screw it to the console, or make a bracket to secure it to the backside.

Im going to use double sided tape on this panel only because it is temporary. When i get another gauge and use the other panel i made i'll use epoxy.

I used to have my trans temp gauge down there. I did something a little different though when I got my Interceptor.

I'm sure he had that panel made by a member on the board. His name is Beer99c5, He makes panels for the nitrous guys. I have one but its a little different than xtinct's.

Nope. I made it myself.


Havok2 - Sorry, I didn't think to show that step in those pics I sent you. When it was smoothed over, I painted the surface silver. Then I put small vinyl letters on the silver and texture painted over it. When it was dry, I just pulled off the vinyl letters.

Turned out pretty good, I just wish the letters were just a little bit smaller.
