    I wanted a new bezel for my new Dakota Digitals. Brian Kelly found a perfect one and gave it to me...thanks Brian...:Handshake:

    cleaned it up and painted it silver. then masked it off with pin stripping tape. sprayed it with satin black and peeled the tape off, came out great.
    thanks mercgt73 for all the advice on a how to...:Handshake:

    pic. 044 is tracing out the template Tim made us to cut the plexy for the gauges...:Handshake:
    pic. 063 is it cut out with a scroll saw...thanks Tim...:Handshake:
    pic 079 are the two pieces it goes between.
    slide the two gauges into the holes in the plexy, run the ribbins out the back and bolt the cluster back together. it's ready to go back into the dash...:thumbs2:

    Frank the beauty of your car may not be seen from the outside but it has a bunch of goodies once you get to looking. If Patches never gets a paint job I will always know there is more to it than meets the eye. Gauges are just one of the nice touches
