I vote green glow. Although. I'm preferable to Red. I want my trucks gauges to be red.

Thanks guys!!!

This is where I am at today. I printed on a standard 12mil luster paper, and just have to wait patiently for the printer now ;/

Love it!

[Jdesign]

Thanks!

I plan on keeping the template available and will be able to make them for anyone interested in a new design for their own car. It should be fairly priced, but I can not give an accurate estimate until we get the printer.

Does this mean I get my spacers back?

If you want em back, they are just chilling on a shelf in the shop.

Woah sweet build!  My auto top isn't working - kinda hate it - just using manual for now.  What happened to this Borbet type B's!

I don't understand why everyone complains about the power tops. Mine works great and was easy to fix when something went wrong with it. Do you know whats wrong with yours? I sold the Borbets, cleaning them sucked.

So I spent my whole day today, learning and experimenting with our new printer. I think I finally got it dialed in and can start making gauge faces. This is this is the latest print I created, which has solid and transparent parts, with a clear gloss varnish pattern on top. I hope to have a complete Set of gauge faces tomorrow.

Awesome=)

Its a Roland VersaUV Printer. It can print on almost anything and is the next closest thing to permanent. We are the first consultancy world wide to have one that is not in a full scale production facility. It prints on metal, plastic, glass etc. It can also do curved surfaces. If you or anyone on here is interested in some custom parts printed(ex: gauges, shift knobs, etc) let me know.

Thanks guys!!! I am really excited to see what it looks like lit up too. I am still trying to figure out lighting though. I might have to make some SLA parts to replace the orange/red plastic that light pipes the OEM red glow light around the faces, because I would prefer white.
