It would need a lot more work before I did that, but thanks for the compliment!

The rocker switch came with my NOS plate kit, and the red push button is the calibration switch that came with my Innovate LC-1

Nothing yet, probably a couple more switches. I don't have any HVAC in my car.

Start to finish, cutting the plate to fit, hole sawing the gauge holes, drilling for the switches and led, and epoxying it into place, 20 minutes. It's not exceptionally difficult.
