EpicenterDesigns Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 My buddy James has this litle truck......... Mid last year, I shaved his dash smooth and we added gauges to the passenger side. (best pics I can find)......

EpicenterDesigns Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 It didn't sit well with us as the passenger gauges sat lower than the 1 gauge on the driver side. (He picked the spots)...... so a new plan was devised and this is the new start.......

EpicenterDesigns Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Notice all the extra holes on the passenger side? His first plan was to do frenched in gauges but moved up to match the lines. Right after i cut all those holes, he decided to do dual needle gauges in the center bezel.

EpicenterDesigns Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 So I filled all the holes and made frenched in gauge pods on the drivers side and the bezel. It is all ready for primer now. I need to get new updated pics......

LSN2meBoom916 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 in those last 2 pics... You stretched material over em, layed mat and then sanded+rounded where it meets the pvc once it cured? Or just used mat? I'm kinda curious and about what measures where taken to make sure the matt or glass you used adhered to the pvc...?

EpicenterDesigns Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Material was stretched over the PVC. I rough the PVC up...ALOT.... and use CA to adhear the material to it. The CA doesn't release. Then go about your normal 'glassing.
