Re: My 83' C10 Build

So after much deliberation with myself, I have figured out what I'm going to do with my gauges. Since I'm a graphic designer, I'm going to design my own gauge faces and then have them printed through my printing company. I'm thinking something in line with the pics below.

The cobalt gauge right now is my favorite. I'm thinking that I'll actually Cut the stock gauges (I'll get donors just be safe) so that where the blue bar is the lights that I'll be installing in my bezel will shine through at night so the gauges actually light up.

I've already painted the back cover using the "bumper chrome" paint so that helps with light but next I'm going to paint the black cover on the back with the paint as well. I'll be installing LED lights that I'll wire up inside the bezel. Still debating on whether or not I'll make my own LED lights or just buy pre-made strips.

So that's just my update.
