Thanks for all the feedback. I think I have my pricing. Like I said, not making a living doing these like the folks in Nevada and my goal was to provide us all with a better option (especially the turn signals - I wanted that 'original look') than what my competitor offers which appears to be a formed over an original stamped steel bezel which is why I designed the mold for this one to produce a dimensionally correct copy of the stamped steel bezel when using 1/16" ABS. Although it worked fine in my own truck, I felt that a consumer would prefer a more sturdy part so I bumped that up to 3/32" and the difference is like night and day... I was surprised how stiff the 3/32 was. And in doing so, it did gain a bit in the size of finish however, still within that dimensionally correct tolerances.. and as a result, the fit is so good that there is no need for the rubber grommet that went around the steel panel. That all being said, my guy who prints my accessory parts is laid up for about a week so no turn signals at this time.

so here are the prices I have arrived at
DIY blank black ABS textured Gauge Panel w/mounting holes $75.00
Complete Cut with turn signal lamps installed $125.00
(Includes Shipping)

NOW LISTED ON WEBSITE http://www.hyepo.com/57-60-F100-Truc...nk-_p_103.html

I would love to corner the market LOL I truly believe my bezel looks more period correct than the one that has you pop in RadioShack LEDs for signals... and is $25 less...

I am in the process of adding these to my website hyepo.com but the delivery on complete panels will be delayed about a week until my 3D printer guy is back online.

Comments, Questions, Suggestions?




This is the 1/16” panel installed in my ‘57 with Marshall Gauges. I’ll be offering a complete package like this as well at some point in the future.
