Anyone have a guage/switch panel(metal)

Hey i'm thinking of making a guage panel out of sheet metal...

I want

1. oil pressure
2. Volt meter
3. Coolant temp
4. Aircleaner temp (mounted inside of dual snorkel)

and toggles for

1. Fan#1
2. Fan#2
3. Guage lights

on one square panel that i can mount somewhere.. like in a drag car........

any suggestions for some other vital gauges i should have ..and/or toggles..

Rob..

I've removed the ash tray in the shift plate and my switch panel will be going there.

Have you ever considered using an overhead console for the toggles? Should you be interested, you might do a search in the classifieds for my ad.
