Gauge panel
Anyone ever see one like this before? A cousin of mine gave it to me, said it was in a truck he bought for parts. It has never been installed, and has autometer phantom gauges. It looks like it would have been done on a CNC or something, it is really detailed and doesn't look homemade to me.

Re: Gauge panel
Dat's pretty dope. Doesn't look like it was done in the typical garage to me!!
But how do you open the glove box?? (no button hole)

Re: Gauge panel
I wonder if the guy that did it ever realized the Chevy emblem was reversed on the dash cluster?

Re: Gauge panel
That was one of the first things my cousin told me, Your going to have to cover the bowtie on the gauge panel cause it's backwards.

Re: Gauge panel
WOW! Very nice indeed.
Wish I had a friend that would give me a $600+ full instrument gauge dash with matching glove box!

Re: Gauge panel
I plan to put a little chrome stick on bowtie over th e cutout.
I don't want to get rid of it, I think it looks pretty cool, I will sand it and pass acouple more coats of polyurathane. I think it will look really good in my truck when done.

Re: Gauge panel
Took the gauges out and sanded the woog down and sprayed a couple of coats of poly on them and they look great. Now I just need to finish the truck so I can put them to use.

Re: Gauge panel
I'm no woodworker and I'm not really sure but I "think" that wood is spalted maple.If so it is a very fine cabinetry wood and looks great used like that.

Could have been made on a CNC could have been made on a Manual Machine. Could have been made with Hand Tools by a talented wood worker. Hard to say. Its amazing what Mold, Pattern and Model Makers have done by hand through the years. Its actually not a hard piece to build. |
