Dashboard

I have decided to remodel the dashboard as i was haveing difficulty in getting the airguide gauges to work properely and i wasn't happy with the mismatch in styles.
Picture to the right shows a cardboard template that
i designed in an Art Deco style based on the chrysler tower in New York.


The style should tie in well with the boats name "VOGUE"                                                                                           
 
 
 
Carried template trough past the steering wheel to balance the look.





I couldn't get a clear feeling for how the finished dashboard might look so sat down for the evening and drew out the pattern of the individual gauges onto the cardboard template.

I am happy with the overall look and have placed orders for the KUS white faced gauges and marine grade stainless steel for the dash panel.
