Custom Guages
I have been thinking about seting up a custom instrument cluster starting with a jimmy-jams.com guage plate and I just wanted to see if any of you guys with custom guage setups with post up some pics for inspiration.

This has been a reoccuring topic for a long time. I would say do a search but you have to know how to spell "gauge" first lol (just kidding)

These are mine. They were in the car when I got it, but I think they look fantastic. They're not super bright at night but they're definitely bright enough, the worst itme of day is the time that this picture was taken, darker than that and everything lights up enough with no problem. And they do look great.
I know they're "silver face" gauges, not sure if they're Macewen's or not.

Both of those are sweet MW66nova, I am probably going to go with the plate that has 2 3 3/8'' holes for the speedo and tach, and 4 2" holes for fuel, volts, oil, and temp. I thinking of using equis' new white faced guages.

his panel is a Covan's Classic panel and is MUCH more finished looking than a jimmy jams. don't get me wrong, the JJ panel is nice, but i'd rather have a Covan's if i was going to buy one for the 82-89's. too bad nobody makes one for the 90-92's.
