Thoughts? Still working on the paint... Textured like 94+... Awaiting clear-coat...

 

Wow! Looks great. If I didn't know how it was before, I'd think it was ment to be that way.

 

Damn, looks sweet!

 

I would like to know how you did that. Im working on a similar project, I have the autometer sportcomp series, with the chrome rims. Instead of having them inserted like yours are, I inserted mine from the back and glued them in the opening from the back. By doing this it looks exactly like the stock gauge cluster with just a small chrome ring. Ok, Im sure nobody understands what I just said.

It really looks great what you did, I'm using the saab panel and trying to figure out how to make it look seamless like yours. The only thing, I put it above my radio as I think it looks better that way.

what did you make that out of?, it looks great

 

Looks great but the gauges are too low to be easily read.
I have had gauges in the same location and I think I would prefer having them in place of the radio and moving the radio down.

 

yea, thats how I did mine. Seems most do it the other way though.

 

The finish looks seamless-- great job. But on the positioning, I'd have to agree with Mr. Stock & ZeroBanger.

 

looks good.

 

Yeah, the gauges take a little getting used to down there.. I've had them there so long I don't even reallize that they are in a weird spot... I guess I could always do another one in the upper spot.

I bought the SAAB DIN panel off Ebay forever ago.

I used 5 minute Epoxy to secure the panel in place from the back. On the front I used Bondo to fill the seam. Pretty simple actually. Took a few sanding/filling processes to get it right, but wasn't that hard. Primed. Sanded again. Painted with SEM texture coating.

Planning on adding a semi gloss clear to get a final finish similar to the 94's. Wish me luck!

 

With a LITTLE shine, and installed...
