Thanks dudes! I don't drive the car as much as I used to but I still love it. Not the fastest thing in the world but it puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel.
Here's a daylight photo showing the panel in more detail. The stack dash in this photo is not mine, I just used it for mock up. Unfortunately my engine doesn't rev to 15k.
The lights are these from APEM. Kinda spendy but I couldn't find anything else that I liked and they are very high quality. The buttons on the side, also from APEM, are for switching between the pages on the display and for setting up the shift lights and CAN configuration on the dash.
The panel itself is one I designed and ordered from Front Panel Express. They can do printed graphics so I imported ISO standard vehicle symbols (ISO2575) into the design file to keep a somewhat cohesive automotive look. There are also a number of PEM studs on the back used to hold the dash display and to fasten the panel to the bezel with some angle brackets.
Beautiful work. Any more pictures or details of the dash "filler" plate? I'm curious how you integrated the oil pressure, headlight, charging lights.
