my new gauges

Post by tybob81 »

I bought the insert off of ebay and also the gauges. The gauges are TPI brand. I'll see how they preform and see if I should have bought autometer. The housing is my original and was faded and rough so I used a silver interior paint on it and it looks great!

That is very nice. FYI, if you turn off your flash your picture will probably turn out a bit better (assuming you have enough light).

I like that look. I might just have to do something like that on my truck.

Almost all of the center part of the gauge cluster has to be cut out. I used a sazall and a cut off wheel to get it done. After that I wet sanded the outside and preped and painted it.

I cant wait to get the wiring all done and mount those gauges in for good with the rest of my interior.
