Default New dash for the 28

Here is what I have planned, one piece top pannel in bright red.

White faced guages with black rims on top of brushed stainless bezels.

Black contorl base with polished billet stainless sticks, black shifter nobs and red shifter nobs, Black trim pannel with white rocker switches.

A single row of switches black boots w/ brushed stainless switch bezels. Right side pannel with toggle switch ignitions and momentary toggles for starters covered with those trick flip up safety covers. Kill switches and starboard hour meter.

Left pannel, port hour meter, and depth guage.

Forgive my feeble paint skills.
Am I on the right track here with colors or is this thing gonna look stupid?

Once had a 1980 28 SS. Mine had an updated dash. I think your dash looks great. Mine was similar but in all white with blue bezels on gauges. Post some pics of the boat.

Had to take the entire helm off of the boat to fill all the holes and start over fresh. What fun that was.

...(thanks for the tutorial glassdave)

I think that will look awesome. What kind of gauges do you plan on using. I relocated my hour meters and volt meters because I did not have enough room for everything and I like to look quick at only the really important gauges (oil press. & water temp)

Are your motors done yet?

I dropped the templates and stock off at my buddies shop today, he asked if I wanted them laser engraved and powder coated while its there. Guages will be SSComp with black rims and brushed bezels, Im placing them in order of importance closest to center. Engines should be done in a couple weeks I still need to find some different props.
