    I think you're right - it is copper

    No wait, it's red

    No wait, it's green

    No wait, it's yellow

    No wait, oh never mind - what ever color it is (at the moment) it looks great. :thumbs2:

    I found some more shots of the gauges. There from Classic Instruments. The vents are out of an F150 and the "adapters" are PVC plumbing parts from Lowes. I can spin the vents freely and remove them if I have to.

    Great job on the dash. Those gauges are really nice.

    I can't wait to park next to you at car shows ... folks will think my car is so stock ( a myth I am trying to perpetuate ... the joke will be on them ... :thumbs2:)

    I'll have to find the other thread to see the description you gave. I'm just trying to figure out what exactly to ask for when I go to the paint store. I love the affect but want to ask if it can be done with a sonic blue as the base color..
