    Pat, I misunderstood your post when you were showing the new bezel. I thought you were showing that you removed that bezel without any distortion. That's why I asked about your method. Now, it all becomes clear that you are making that beautiful repop. Are you considering the same deal for the 2-1/16" gauges (like the 1940's/1950's Tulip Pointers)? Keep up the good work!

    Not at this point, I don't really see a market in them just yet. And there is a lot of workthat goes into these repops. For the 2 5/8 bezel I had to reverse engineer the shape, and make 6 different die sets just to make that bezel. Plus hours of test and tune to get it 100% perfect. Not an easy task especially since I only get like an hour or two here or there after work to play with this. If these can help me buy a few machines for myself then I might do them also. Next I want to do rear mounts.
