Welcome to TMS Matt (2bav8)!!! Noticed this was your first post here!

Yours turned out really nice. IIRC, that's the "whizco" aluminum panel, and you had to do a bit of "tweaking" to get it right? Sure turned out nice with the woodgrain accent.

I'm using a gauge support LIKE THIS ONE, with Autometer Phantoms, and a 65 GT "camera case" (no woodgrain) bezel... One of these days, I'll have it all together for some pictures, but should be similar to this...

I only needed 5 gauges, since I have the Shelby pod already:

 

Jay,

I went with different gauges because I already had the 4 smaller ones and only had to buy the speedo and tach. I'll probably up grade the 4 smaller ones eventually, but my budget didn't allow for it right now. Hmmm, maybe I can E-bay them.

I used wood grain because I have pony interior. Could have painted it black, but then it wouldn't have matched my glove box door

Bob, you're right! It is a Whizco bezel... Took a lot of effort to make it usable, not to mention the 6 months to deliver :notnice:

 

well i have the jme gauges in my 66 looks great i rather pay more money for better quality any day of the week

 

I'd rather read real sentences with capitalization and punctuation too... I guess we can't ALL have what we want, now can we?

I'll have less than $100 wrapped up in the Shelby pod, brand new dash bezel, & backing plate, plus space for 7 gauges instead of 6. Since this assembly uses an OEM dash bezel, it fits and looks like OEM as well. Sure, JME is nice, but I haven't seen one under $100 yet. I've got other projects that can use the $$$ saved.

 

well was only giving my opinion. but thanks for the flame . instead of spending all that money on a clone get a real shelby.

 

The subject line of THIS thread is "Autometers in a 66 5-gauge Cluster". Not "What's YOUR opinion of the JME gauge cluster?". :nono: Feel free to start your own thread for that.

In fact, earlier in this thread, I specifically stated "Not interested in paying hundreds for a JME/Haneline bezel, when I can buy the Ebay piece for <$40"... :bang: :bang: :bang: What's so hard to understand? Failure to read or write usually gets people flamed.

Now, why in the WORLD would I want to do that? Already done the chalk mark and paint daub crowd once... Thanks once again for submitting another unwanted opinion though. :bang:

 

Oh ya, and that real nice $$$ JME bezel doesn't even have the upper lip like a factory bezel or my lesser quality bezel

I'll go back to my corner now
