Homemade Inster. Bezel

Post by Randle »

Well its done except for paint which want go on till I paint my dash. Insert is polished Stainless Steel, switch's are for fog lights & amp then a power point on the right, and a Sunpro tach on the left. Original part of bezel will be the same color as the dash.

Wow. Great fabricating skills! Looks great and I like the white gauges.

Hard to tell a bit from the picture but are the center gauges recessed? Seems like there is a nice bevel there.

The gauges are recessed about a inch and instead of the original glass or plastic in front of them their is a flat piece of Lexan between the gauges and the bezel.

Randle,

That does look good! That Lexan is good, versatile stuff. Nice polished steel look too. I can't wait to see a pic of it in the truck.

Randle: I agree, you really did a great job on that instrument panel! Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of your truck. ;)
