One is a pull switch to turn the headlights on. I am mounting the dimmer for the headlights in the floor. The other is a potentiometer style for the wipers.

Started on the gauge mount. It will be recessed so that the front of the dash stays smooth.

That's gonna look killer. I like it even without the gauges in it yet!

do your bags raise it up enough to steer with the front fenders being that low?

Dash gauges are officially on order

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
