I'm building a '36 Ford convertible and am working on a custome interior with a console. I plan on putting 3 gauges in the console by using 1/8" aluminum tubing for the bezels. Anybody know a way to get gauge detail into the tubing?

Both Detail Master and Model Car Garage sell printed gauge faces, both in classic and modern (digital) styles. DM's are on printed paper while MCG's are printed on clear acetate so you can paint the background in the colors of your choice. Both come with photoetched bezel rings. Here are pics of the MCG classic style offerings:

Hope that helps some!

A good friend gave me a tip of using the gauge photos from web sites like Jegs and Summit. You can play around to print them in the size you need, then just mount behind a piece of clear acetate. Check it out. Best of all, its free.
