I'm getting the boat ready for the upcoming season and am going to put some of those Gaffrig trim rings on my gauges to spruce it up a bit (getting new upholstery as well). I pulled off my dash panel to look at how the gauges come out and realized that the panel the gauges are mounted in has seen better days.<br /><br />I thought it would look pretty nice to replace the gauge panel with one made of brushed aluminum in a complementary color to the rest of the interior. I can use the existing panel as a template for the mounting screw holes and the gauge openings.<br /><br />I'm stumped on where to start - I think this might require a machine shop, but don't really know. Has anyone out there tried something like this? Maybe a custom street rod shop or something similar?
