Nice Job on the dash panel. If you run into any issues, please don't hesitate to contact me.

As far as a website goes, I am working with another company that makes gauges and we will be putting the dash boards on his website. We are also going to have a set of custom gauges made just for the dash. The website is www.thomaskirkham.com . I have not been able to put up a website of my own because I have doubled the size of my engineering company and hired new employees and am moving into a new building in September. So between training new employees, designing a new building and buying new equipment I have not had any spare time to do a website. I hope to have the dash panels on the website in a couple weeks.

did you ever do any design work to allow for the gages to be mounted BEHIND the dash panel?

Awesome! Nice job with the panel and glove box door. What's the price on a set?

I have updated the first post and other posts in here to reflect current pricing. I sell the dash panel for $275.00 and the Glove Box Door for $175.00. This includes UPS ground shipping. You can either contact me at ryan.hubbard@aspencontrols.com or call me at 562-595-7545.

No, I have not worked on that. As far as I have seen the aftermarket gauges mount from the front. Also right now I do not have any time to work on that. I would need a set of gauges also to know how to mount them.

Is there a way to recess them more??

Re: For Sale: Billet Aluminum Dash Panels
 
I would have to change my tooling and buy thicker billets to make the gauges more recessed. I just went with gauges that did not have the thick rims like the auto meters have. I went with VDO gauges. I am also getting some custom gauges made to sell with the panels. These gauges are only 1 inch in depth all electronic units.

Any way to get some matching air pressure gauges for the bagged guys. Trying to keep the interior as clean as possible.

I just ordered mine yesterday from Ryan and spoke with him on the phone. I should get them next week. Maybe within the next decade I'll actually get them put in. :)

I agree that a couple of air guages would be nice for the bagged crowd but I'm sure Ryan doesn't want to have 100 different custom programs for every single request. This based on previous posts and with talking to Ryan on the phone.


Dakota Digital has a single guage that controls all 4 bags I believe. I can't remember the size of it though. Granted it might not match the existing guages but I think it might fit in the center between the Tach/Speedo guages.

No sense spending the bucks if it's not going to match.

Not looking for any changes to the dash panels. You have your 2 big holes for spedo/tach and then you have your 5 other holes. Temp, oil, fuel, air press & air press.

Just looking for matching gauges.

Since you can park an 18-wheeler behind the dash, what's the value-add of having shallow gauges?

Shallow guages might come in handy if you wanted to mount a 90 degree master cylinder like Kugel components produces under the dash.

I have precisely that under my dash... as well as an 18-wheeler, 3 cases of Crest, and a goat. Plenty of room.

Does anyone have any pictures of these in a truck that are polished? These look awesome. Once I get my truck close to being fit for these I will be getting a set.

Re: For Sale: Billet Aluminum Dash Panels
 
these look bad ass. I'm also with the group looking for a way to get air bag/tank gauges on there too.

If someone were to find a set of gauges, and gave you the dimensions, what kind of time/cost would you be looking at to move holes around and/or add new ones?
