Interested in a billet gauge bezel/console?

[allcarfan]

I just looked at JME prices for their bare gauge Bezel...$349.95...without gauges.

I am currently working with a CNC machinist that sponsors our club. He usually only does late model stuff, however, we have been throwing the idea back and forth of creating a Billet Gauge Bezel for classic mustangs. The price is still up in the air, but when he heard the price of the JME stuff he laughed and assured me it would be much less.

Now, is anyone interested in something like this? Would it be worth the effort getting this project started?

Please note that I am NOT selling these items. They are not even in production. I just was gauging interest to see if there is really a demand for these in the classic mustang world.

I would buy it in a second if it was priced reasonably. Would it be five gauge or six?

 

[allcarfan]

It would have 5. He would need a template to work from for a 6...I have one in my garage. I am meeting up with him in February if I am not mistaken. I may just ship him my bezel and see what he can do with it.

I'd be interested if the price were around $200 or so, cheaper would be nice though....

i'm interested aswell. hopefully i'll have enough money to throw at that by early next year.

If it's availible in a year or so, or later, can fit Autometer gauges, has a similar 6-gauge layout, and is a lot cheaper, I'd like to start my project off by getting a 69 dash pod similar to the JME one. That is if you don't mind shipping to the land of Oz.

whats it gonna look like? can you point me to a sample?

 

[66stangmeister]

i assume they would look similar to these?

I'd take 2 for a reasonable price.

and if he ventured as to make the complete dash trim in billet aluminum I'd get that also.

I'd definitely be interested in a 6 gauge layout, and matching glove box door for a 65-66

 

[allcarfan]

wow...lots of interest. I will keep you all posted. A billet glove box door is in the works also.

Sal...

PM ME what you think should be made billet.

hell yes!

I would be all over that like Oprah on a baked ham.

 

[Fostang]

So hows it going with this idea?

Shane I ment to do the complete 67-68 dash pieces all in billet aluminum.

 

[allcarfan]

Sal,

I will have to check into the 67-68 pieces.

I emailed our CNC guy. I told him there was in interest in gauge consoles, billet glove door boxes, billet grills, and billet trim pieces....knobs, locks, etc.

HAHA....I got an email as I was posting this....He said he would definetly look at the pieces, but they are not sure if they want to get into such a specialty market.

Will keep everyone posted. It is going to be Feb before any of this takes place...at the earliest.
