Gauge placement help requested - 09/12/09 07:46 PM
I am working on the dash for my 34 coupe and would like your suggestions for gauge placement. I got some gauges from a friend but still need to pick up a tach. The dash I got with the car was pretty messed up with an oversized hole where the windshield crank hole used to be and then a crudely welded in patch to cover it. The lower section of the dash had been cut off and a flat piece of steel had been tacked in its place.
I took the dash to a couple of welder fabrication shops to see if they could repair the hole and weld in a new lower section. They did not want to deal with it because the metal was pretty thin from corrosion.
I decided to attemp the repairs myself and think it is coming out pretty well.
I would like your opinions on gauge placement. I have include pics. I have my favorites but would like to know yours. First, these are the gauges.
Thanks
Arno
