[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 87695, member: 1523"] OK, today was pretty rough. Spent most of it trying to get the new gauge panel flat. Took about a half hour to get the alignment tits drilled and the holes milled and everything was going great until I tried to flycut the dings and marks out of the face of the panel. Then I spent the next five hours trying to polish a turd... Finally got it smooth enough and went on to the steering bearing box that's also going to house a lamp to shine on the gauges for night running. The pictures are in the camera that's in the garage, but since it was dark out I got to test it and darned if it doesn't actually work. I also decided to make the guage panel removable just in case I decide to do something different down the road. Since I spent so much time with the panel thinking about the stupid thing I now have a bunch of good ideas so it should come together tomorrow. More to come... Jamie [/QUOTE]
