Custom Level 2 Gauges

[Mk III the HSV]

The original gauges were done on Glow in the Dark paper, but the finish was not very desirable. So I redone them on my photographic printer and they turned out quiet good. The only reason why I have not tried to fit them is when I've attempted to cut out the hole for the odometer and the needles it looked tacky.

Does anyone know it the series of holes across the bottom of the gauges are required ? I don't want to pull apart the dash to find out.

Let us know what ya think.

Drill the holes out using a correct sized dirll tip... thats hwat i would do anyway if your not steady using a blade.

im guessing you used a picture of lightning for the backgroudn then added the logo behind the speedo and redid the text...

Im not the best at photoshop but im learning with the help of others and slowly making a design.

yep, thats pretty much it, when using adobe, make each picture a seperate layer, heaps easier to work with. and you can make the layers transparent. the hardest bit was getting the guages right. i can give out the photoshop file with the dials in it, and the outline for the face. i jut dont want anyone using my same lightning pic. i want it to be as original as possible
