    i'd sure like to take a look at it for the race car also. don't really need a speedo just aftermarket gauges. :)

    I have been wanting to do something like this myself.
    Either sheet metal or fiber.
    I just don't have the skills to do it myself.

    I would be interested, but would have to see a prototype before commiting.

    Either it looks good, or it doesn't. If it looks good, then I'm all for it...

    All right then, it sounds like people are interested if the prototype is up to par and the piece up to price :D. At least, from the responses, I will deem the part as being relatively desireable. I should have the example in a few weeks. Because of the complications of mounting a flat surface (the back of the gauges) to a curved panel, certain radius dimensions for the openings need to be altered using a drafting program, to ensure accuracy, before a production model can be fabricated. This is the hardest part. I'll try to post, occassionally, for progress updates. Thanks guys!

    sounds like a great idea. with the curve of the dash its hard to get anything to mount flush and get it to look good.

    good luck
