While at homecoming, we gave Unique our deposit and walked aware with a plain dash so I could lay out the gauges in the format/scheme I want. I started by taping paper to the fiberglass dash and drew out several layouts to scale.... then picked the one we liked best. we took into account the steering wheel (note in picture where I sketched out on the paper. Also, note we will NOT have a traditional keyed start/on/acc or a lights pull switch. I'll have a seperate switch for the acc, Ing ON, start button, park lights and head lights. After we were certain of the layout... I started cutting. Also note I added a shift light center above the steering column that tied into the tach to the right of it. And finally, take a look at the custom switch labels I had made. This company is listed in the links thread.... ask for Kyle. I had all my labels made for $25.

I can't tell you how happy I am with the gauges I had custom made by Speed Hut. I worked with Aaron there. Note the red Cobra Snake on the Tack and Speedo and the red COBRA text on all the gauges. I was able to pick the day and night color combos, the reverse speedo sweep, the yellow/red tack tick marks for the "red line", the mph range, the psi's ranges, etc. They have a very good web site to help visualize all this. I also got my "no moving parts" fuel level sensor and a dimmer. All the sending sensor units were included. The have many styles and sizes to choose from. I went with the GPS Speedo... no transmission cables are needed for speed. This GPS Speedo and provides time, time 0 to 60, 1/4 mile time, trip ometer and several other funtions. All gauges have some programing to do. See Speed Hut's web site for more details or just call Aaron.

The Cobra logo is complete on the center panels of the seat backs and were shipped off to Unique’s upholster, Jim Holland. He’ll incorporate these along with the seat (butt and back) heaters. We’re getting close to d-day now.

The embroider work was done locally here in Pensacola area by Something Stitchy, Lynn Skipper owner. Their web site is www.somethingstitchy.com I did all my work remotely with her, i.e, email and phone. I sent her the artwork and she digitized it for her machine. Lynn also worked directly with the Jim... the leather guy. I stumbled upon Lynn... i.e, I bought my car hauler from her husband. It made it all very easy for me !!

Completed the dash gauges, switches and ready to bo back to Unique.
Unique only needs to add the turn signals and high beam indicatiors in the 3 open holes.
