5-17-09: Today I did some more work on the instrument panel. I marked out where I wanted the gauges and drilled some pilot holes then used my hole saws to make 5 holes. I had an issue with the hole saws wobbling. It made just enough of a problem to throw the alignment of some of the gauges off. But it's good enough for me. If I get bored someday after the truck is on the road I'll make a new panel.

Then I installed all the gauges I've got so far to see how they fit. I used my fuel pressure gauge in place of the oil pressure gauge ( which I don't have yet ) . I think it'll look pretty good. I'm going to paint the dash blue to match the body and I think I'm going to paint the gauge panel white.
