FastGT94, I didnt have to make any molds or anything fancy..
I just found some scrap plastic i had laying in the garage.. Cut it out to the retangular size that would fit in the old a/c gauge area... and slowly began to cut, grind and fit... Then took a heat gun and heated the plastic up, so it would become somewhat pliable.. I then took my fingers and pressed in recessed areas, to get the basic form.. I burned my fingers a few times trying to mold the hot plastic into just the right shape. Then i used some high strenght epoxy, and gobbed it on the backside, to hold the panel in place.
AFter that, i sanded and filled in almost the whole thing in bondo.. Then took the dremel and ground the edges round, and began to form the outlines,ect..
Then i cut out the two gauge holes with a hole saw attatched to a drill. I then dremel'd out the gauge holes oblong, so the gauge would sit in the hole with a recessed aperence. After hours and hours of messing with this thing, it took form and i sprayed down a high build primer to help fill in.. Then sanded and spray the base color(red) then let it dry, retaped for the silver, let that dry, and then sprayed that all with clear coat.
While the black areas were masked, they did not get shot in clear.. So after the clear and painted areas dried good, i pulled off the tape, and taped up the painted area, and shot the black sections with semi flat black spray paint.
As for the delete plate below the gauge bezel.. Thats just a piece of thin plastic cut out to the shape, and covered in black vynil, then epoxied to the backside.
BTW, i could have easly just bought a gauge plate from Florida 5.0 or such, but i enjoy fabrication, and making things... ya know, spending hours and hours on somthing so minuscule.
Thats about it, lol..
