This was during the "build" phase. It looks prettier now!

Gsmopar that looks cool, the diamond plate really looks good. Is it just from the hardware store cut to fit?.
Bob Coomer that looks great, I cant wait to see that car finished, love the lightning rods!

Here's mine in the 70 Challenger. Alu dash / frame etc. with fibreglass dash cap put over it. Still no weight but does look like a real dash.

Here is a bad picture of mine. It is an alternative to a metal, or aluminum dash. It is a Cavalier fiberglass dash, available from all the chassis shops. We will be pulling it out and giveing it a much needed makeover later this year. Maybe a marblized paint job..

Maybe stupid question but why you guys have gauges installed in angle not correctly horizontally? I also noticed that in some cases in tachometers

i'm not sure what Bill is doing there...maybe too much 
people will often install gauges so the needles are pointing in a certain direction when the conditions are at their normal state. you could install the gauges so all the needles are pointng up when the pressures, temps etc. are where they should be. that way a quick glance can tell you if the numbers are normal because all the needles are vertical.

That I thought also...make sence. But Bill certainly had too many alky inside when he was installing those gauges. Maybe he was celebrateing by having new gauges and had too much beer at installing time LOL
