      It's actually 1/4" thick aluminum with 3M carbon vinyl on top.

      I put the New Vintage 69 series gauges in a 70-78 Camaro covan bezel I textured. I also used the led's that came with the new vintage kit and relocated them in the panel for a stealth look





      I installed my lens and wired up my led's. I basically cut up the lens from my new vintage kit for my install.

      For the turn signals I drilled holes in the bezel and used nylon spacers to mount the led's from behind the arrow lens . I hot glued the lens first then the spacer...it's really bright lol

      I wrapped tape around it to diffuse the light from lighting up the spacer








      The lens actually has a texture face and blends in with the bezel when the led's aren't on...pretty low key



      One thing I did notice was that my colors were reversed on the check engine and brake warning. I used the housing supplied by new vintage and the led's were already glued in. my kit came with a vertical lens and they sent me a horizontal lens free of charge so I guess there was a different layout between the two ....oh well it still looks pretty good. I since relocated the led's and the brake light is red and the check engine is amber now

      gauges

      Just received my Speedhut gauges.
      I went back and fourth Btwn auto meter and Speedhut. The warranty and being able to pick your own lighting color made it a easy decision. Took about 3 weeks to get them.

      I posted in here a while ago with the Speedhut gauges in my Torino. Here's a picture of the Speedhuts I put into the Chevelle. Fabricated a panel into the dash so the gauges are all Frenched in instead of a flat panel.

      Intelletronix - Definitely not as cool as most of these on here but they work for my 6.0 swap. Also have 1/4 mile time, 0-60, etc. This is in a 67 Chevelle - Made a plexi backer molded in the oven to get everything to match up. Car is not on the road yet so can not report on how they work.

      Thanks, they look a lot better in person. It's hard to visualize with their online simulator, but they're definitely nice high-end pieces. As far as the logos, I asked them about that directly. They said due to copyright issues, they couldn't have these original emblems on their page, but they have a box to upload whatever logos you want. So I Google imaged this one, and placed it on with their builder. Pretty simple to do.

      Removed these AutoMeter Phantom gauges from the car.




      I decided to use the 1969 series from New Vintage USA. Just need to get them wired up!

      I decided to go with a carbon fiber dash insert from Classic Dash. Still researching which gauges, but top of the list right now are the New Vision's pictured below (Photoshopped mock-up). I like the center spin gauges, and the blue detail... my '69 Camaro is LeMans Blue. Plus the gauges light up blue. Idiot lights have to be figured out, but worse case is the LED panel lights shown.



      I think the dash insert and gauges will go nicely with my MOMO wheel, and my intention is to selectively use carbon fiber on the dash and restored OEM console to tie it all together. Got the insert last week, hope to decide on the gauges this week so I can get them installed soon.

      Looks like SpeedHut is the only manufacturer that actually lets you design your own gauges. I might've considered Auto Meter but I'm not nuts about their fonts, they seem to be crammed. Originally my heart was set on a aluminum grey gauge face, and of course New Vision CFR only comes in black although they supposedly offer some custom work. I called, waiting for a call back.

      Speed Hut let's you pick the face color, the font and tick color and style, the nighttime color, the pointer color, the center button. Their big gauges are a strange size, 4-1/4" hole bore. Classic dash uses a 4-1/2" bore size. Speed Huts gps speedo can also have the directional and hi-beam leds built in.

      A little more research.

      Dakota Digital installed their VHX gauges in my 69 Cougar factory gauge panel. Great people to work with.
