I welded it using my soldering gun and spare pieces of the trim and gauge pod then sanded it and JB Weld to finish it.

Looks good.
I wonder if there is a way to duplicate the "grain" effect of the factory panels on the gauge pods?

Ya I'm happy with it. Used a textured paint for the base then grey on top.

The textured paint helps blend everything. Nice idea.
I can't see it in the pictures but do you have a tachometer hiding somewhere?

The dash is getting a custom gauge panel too i will be making from the stock gauges. All gauges will be autometer phantom gauges. Will be a tach, metric speedo, oil pressure, water temp, volt, fuel level, afr, boost and fuel pressure.

Sounds like it's going to be a pretty nice setup when it's done.
No metric tachometer though ;)
