Im just away for college and like that way yours look. How much was the material for just the face where the gauges went on to? All i would want is another piece cut exactly like that and I would cut the gauge holes
that all depends. i went to the local steel shop and bought a chunk of 16 ga. sheet metal and bent it all up and created the corners too. the steel cost me 35 bucks. i have access to a sheet metal break so that helps. i made a complete template out of poster board first then just transfered it over to steel
