Some kewl panels here so I figured I better throw the one I fabbed up into the fray.



I gutted the original bezel, kept the glass, trim ring, and base housing only. The gauges are Classis instrument units mounted in a 3/4" thick piece of monkey wood (hard to work with).



And there it is mounted in the finished dash panel.

 

I like that, and the indicator lights, I haven't located those on my set up yet.

 

That is very nice P55!!

 

I know this is a 54 but I wanted to show off my original instrument panel with gauges from a 89 Astro van fitted (more like cobbled) into it. A major cheep skate way to do it.

 

Here' s mine

 

I agree 100%

 

There is just something so Bla about digital instruments, just numbers clicking up and down. It would be so much better if someone out there made a digtal guage with programable marconi strips, there are many aircraft now that use them and they are so easy to read and kewl looking too. I like them because they show amber when in caution areas, red for warning zones and of course green when all is ok, scanning the gauges is a one second glance.

 

P55, I like that you have all the gauges in your panel, including the tach. My tach is separate, and a different style. I wish I had seen the style that has the tach in the speedo, it would have made the install cleaner. Oh well.
