Just an itty bitty update: all gauges are done with with bracket for tachometer after this I will mount the WCM steering wheel and some working sub micro toggle switches (that will eventually control lighting and a fan) and a micro push botton I found online, and then I will be adding back lighting for the gauges but that may be a bit down the road because I have to find some LEDs that are not super bright (I want a soft noticeable glow).
And sorry for the crappy photo quality.

LOL oh that was funny Funky :lol: . Yeah I know I had searched for gauge images online for days and couldn't find any good ones that I liked in the "running position" except the tach. And as for scale, they are exactly 1/4 scale. I took the original gauge sizes and quartered them.

Is that fuel door homemade? If not, who sells them? I have not seen it before.
