New gauges/homemade bezel...what you guys think?

[BB73Challenger]

Hi there everyone.
After hanging lousy looking gauges from under the dash because the quad pod in my Rallye dash didn't work, I knew i would soon have to make a change. Last year, the tach gave out on me, and the speedo did more grinding than a speedometer should do, so I decided to put my resources to work.

I kicked around a bunch of gauge options, did a layout for size and spacing, and this is what we have.

My car is not original after all, so I thought I would like to do something different, and what better way than to make it yourself. I have to admit, I "borrowed" some placing I thought looked good from others I've seen on the web.

So what do you guys think?

I really liked the Phantom gauges ( obviously ) and took advantage of the creative space to add 2 additional toggles for other options I have.

A true work of art   Seems you, goody, and a few other really have a talent at that.

Nice work mate, I'm going to start a thread soon on misc aftermarket dash switch knobs and where to get them. Where did you get yours? I'm needing a nice matching set for the lights, wipers and other bits an pieces. Cheers, looks good.

I optioned not to change the switches for the head lights and wipers.
They are factory originals.
The two toggles I have, are simple Auto Zone off the shelf pieces that have a little LED light when they are on.
I simply removed the rheostat switch (again, one of those things that didn't work anyway) and the other spot was a blank - still using the original "framework" for these switches behind my bezel and cover.

Thanks very much for the input guys.   


Again, this is a project I went through the forum here ALOT for info, like mechanical or electrical gauges and this site just makes my car better.

Cool, I didn't even notice, looks good, thanks for the input.

I might find two 3 speed wiper switches then, one for wipers one for the lights.

How did you make the dash and out of what.
