SO this is crude I know but should be enough to show the ideal.
Since the gauges, So now I have to come up with the mounting and lighting- I am happy that the gauges are lit and that I can just wire them in- but i do like the current LED lighting I mod to my dash already, with the blue lights. So i will make a peice to install the white LED and the blue LED in the space for the Autometer lighting. Giving me the option to swtich between the two colors.
But next is the lay out-and actual mounting. i saw the thread (
http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/in...sh-guages.html)
which i like and think he did a great job on - that would be an option.
Or
I could get acrylic to fabricate, remove the stock section and mout instead-
Why - because it will allow me to do something different, and I can set up the lighting effect- with the arcylic i simple can paint- and black out what I dont want to light up.
Below is the ideal with the acrylic and the turn signal effect with a 3 bulb system i can set up a back light- for a constant glow. and set up front light for the turn signals- to attempt the interior flashers to show...well you get the ideal.
this could be used to do just about anything I can think of- just a bulb,-you can make arrows or even a halo effect around the gauges themselves....
1. with arrow effect w/4 gauge star
2.halo effect w/ 4 gauge star
3. halo effect w/4 gauge strieght
4. halo effect w/ 4 gauge strieght & special letteing effect ( can say or be anything) concept
so what do you think..
so far i probly will use the bird or make a halo....
