Hey Greg,
An idea for your "recessed" aux gauges. Build a small lip inside to fill the gap? Looking good!

Hey P,
Remember the plastic styrenne? I'm going to give that a shot and see how it turns out.

If it were me, I wouldn't install that lip on the top. I like the coin tray idea, though.
Is there any way you can move the aux gauges forward a bit? That would take care of the gap.

GENIUS!
I created spacers using some extra glass and then drilled holes

I took the appropriate measurements from each side and mounted

TaDa - Almost perfect! Thanks for the GREAT IDEA, Blacktree!

UPDATES!
I just spent the last 4 hours working on the radio cover. I started by removing all the primer. I then spread a thin layer of resin over the entire outside and let it sit in the sun. When that dried I hand sanded the entire console smooth using about 220 grit paper. I then applied one of the LAST layers of primer before going final. I still have a few holes and low areas but we're getting very close

I'm glad I could help.

I installed the radio cover in the car and it looks fantastic! However... more sanding is required. UGH... It also squeaks like mad so I might line the inside with felt before final install. I do have to sand, paint and clear coat the actual radio console as well. Also, the design of the "tray" will also change as I need to take into account the shifter tray and everything else associated in that area.

More to come!
