Default formula dash upgrade

this project started because my wife bought me a soon to be full set of livorsi gauges for Christmas. the gps speedo and drive water psi will be coming soon. so this is my template the center will be cut out later its laid out for a garmin 740s chart plotter.[IMG][/IMG] this is the new dash made out of marine plywood. [IMG][/IMG] here i used a fleece sweat shirt that my daughter grew out of to form for the rpm and speedo.[IMG][/IMG] all glassed in [IMG][/IMG] with countless hrs of sanding this is how it looks now [IMG][/IMG]

i will be using a setup similar to this with these switches and bezels http://www.lipship.com/parts/view/39
livorsi makes a color matching cover for the 740 chart plotter that will be in the box with the two missing gauges.http://www.livorsi.com/index.htm
