I like how you recessed your gauges... nice touch!

Standard metal dash,all holes fill with fiberglass and a skim of filler over it all and then hour after hour of rubbing back.

Done some repairs to the windscreen

Me too :lol: Going to hole-saw gauges in and fabricate some kind of 'visor' for each gauge to limit the amount of reflection on the window. Although I like the idea of sinking them in like sallyandsean have done.
Going for, Speedo with digital trip, fuel, monster tach on top of dash (already purchased), oil temperature, oil pressure, amps and volts. 8)

Awesome work sallyandsean, lets see some more pictures!
