Default sneak peek...

did a little bit on my bezel today, heres a sneak peek at how shes coming along





still needs finish sanded, but i felt the need to use red as an indicator coat...
you can actually see where there was a little dust or water or something that bubbled through the paint

and in all honesty im not 100% on the red...

this is what the other side looks like currently

its got the proper profile, just need to sand down where i filled the low spots, then filler primer..then finish sand..then the whole thing can be painted

either red, or flat black...not 100% sold yet

Unless it's an Accel Monster 4" tach, with a red shift light, mounted dead center on the dash, aimed in drag race style. Then might approve.

for me, it's a fine line. I like the pro-stock look, with it up on the dash, or the street-rod/nascar look with it attached to the steering column on the top/center or lower right side. Under the dosh only works for the 2" guages for me.
