Not sure if anyone is interested in trying this, but since I changed my dash, I no longer have a need for these. They are made from aluminum, use SS hardware and plastic collars, and work out real nice with a stock bezel and gauge holder.

I put a lot of work into these and would love for someone to get use from them. Pay the shipping if you are interested. Please, ONLY if you are going to use them for sure. The panel with the trans gauge got thrown away, it's only the two larger ones.

For more info on them, check my build thread.

I would just throw them in an envelope at the post office. I'm sure less than 5 bucks. Just mail me some money inside a greeting card or whatever once you get the plates. Easiest way.
 
mtnman already gave me his info a few days ago, just need to send them out. Give it a week and you can buy them from him lol

sold
 
You should have traced them on card board or construction paper. you could have sold just the tracings. I would have bought the tracings so I could make my own.
 
lol
I did this dash work some time ago and never really got any replies. I think I even talked about making them since I know a Lazar Cutter and Water Jet dood. I might be able to scan them with my printer and email that as templates with correct measurements, so when printed out.. they are correct size. Just get me an email address and I'll send them through.

It's a bit of work to cut up the factory gauge holder. Most people just cut the bezel out bigger. Simple, fast, and works.

If you spend some time on the smaller gauge openings, you can get them a little bigger and use angled rings against my panel to turn the smaller gauges up towards line of sight. This is what I originally had planned, even bought the angled rings. Ended up with a little cash burning a hole in my pocket and opted for a DIY4x dash.
