Looks nice, but just a suggestion, I know you will be sucking down a lot of gas, but you might want to put a more critical gauge in the center, like oil pressure.

You put fuel in the middle, That leaves the like systems on each side and in the A pillar.

See you guys are missing the point. Lets say you have Fuel in the middle. Now you have 2 on each side of the speedo and the Tach. So you put Oil preasure and temp for the engine on one side ant the same for the trans on the other. Then on the A pillar Water, EGT, Amps. This gives you alot of info in like areas.

My view is, if you're that concerned about oil pressure, that it demands center stage, in a "driver" the engine is in need of some help.

What finish is that on the dash face? Argent paint, powder coat? Whatever it is, it looks awesome!

We sand the dashes with 80 grit paper using a DA sander to take out tooling marks, marks are in the face panel from the 60 ton press that makes the bend in the 1/8" Aluminum.

I guess everyone likes it different, for me I have always set up where it makes the most difference in a 1/4 mile race. Tach, shift lite, oil pressure, and boost if aplicable are always in the center for me. In the 1/4 mile, the Tach is the most important, followed by the oil pressure, these are the two critical gauges. For a cross country jaunt, then it does not matter. But my vehicles will always have the Oil pressure the first gauge I see. |

I agree, the best part about our hobby is we all build what we want the way we want.
