My dad's alittle shorter than me and when he sat in the seat he said he could see them fine. I thought for a long time about the recessed install as well, in the end I just liked the look of the flush mount look.
This looks like the gauges mount directly into the aluminum face plate, is that correct?

I love what you have done and since my dash had been hacked up by a past owner I am going to go the way you did.

Do you have a photo of the back side of the face plate by chance. I would love to see exactly how they are mounted and how they fit in relation to the stock dash cover.

Thanks a ton.

I was told this Project had a L-72 427 425HP, It did not.
It does have a 427 block and parts from various 427 motors. It will end up with a nice strong 454 in the end.
It has not been run for 20+ years
