Custom gauge faces that you can make out of paper

[Lifted95X]

When do you plan on installing them?? I want a nighttime pic of them when you do.

You mentioned one is a Canadian type. Do you have a raw scan of the US version you could send me or post here? I wanna start from scratch because I am just starting to learn to use Photoshop.

Just to answer the question of white face gauges and the white lettering of the stock gauges.

It is very easy to convert the white to another color by a number of means. The quickest is to simply invert the colors, thus making the white black. To change to another color you can edit the layer with the white gauges by simply coloring them in with the color of your choice.

Thanks...

Brock

I want to do something like cat and tiger, but with moose, grizzly and northern lights. Or dog sled and northern lights.

Let me know. kurt@rogershsa.com

Do you have the pictures you want on the gauges? I can give it a try.

Final and raw scanned image files for your viewing & Photoshop-ing pleasure.

Dead Link Removed in Photopshop format (422k zip) ready for print.

Dead Link Removed in Photoshop format (4.9 MB zip) Just paint over the Canadian speedo in black. [I left it for our friends up North ]

Dead Link Removed (3.5 MB zip)

Dead Link Removed (199k jpg) This is where I pulled the US speedo from.

If you need any help let me know. SSIKORA and I have been discussing some of the inconsistancies in the different years and I can easily modify my final gauges if you need.

I'm looking to install them next week so check back.

Thanks Harry!!! The color for the "4WD Auto" and "4WD Low" lights are just like the O/D light. Can you uploaad that for us?? Thanks again!!!!!

 

[AlaskanJack]

Let me see if I can come up with the pics in the next few days. Working 12 hr days and have to commute a little over an hour each way so I have little time for anything but sleep.

Do you use transparency paper or regular white paper?

[Harry5150]

I used both.

 

[Harry5150]

OK Jack. Let me know.

I have cousins that live in Anchorage. It's a great state. Denali is humongous and the glaciers are cool (pun defininitly intended).

How far is Wasilla from there?

 

[Harry5150]

Is the "4WD Auto" at the same location as "4WD HI" ?

 

[Lifted95X]

Mine doesn't say 4WD AUTO....it just Says 4WD and 4WD LOW. But either way will work for me....maybe more like "4WD AUTO SUCKS"

 

[Harry5150]

I need help.How do you get the dummy lights to scan??

 

[Harry5150]

Try scanning with the cover open to let light thru.

 

[mspencer]

I tried with cover open still no luck.They are very faint.I need some help..I have my truck tore apart I can't get the stupid dummy lights to scan in right...
Thanks
Mike

 

[Harry5150]

Adjust the brightness & contrast in photoshop to get the light to come out. Did you try the links in the other post?

 

[mspencer]

I did but some of the dummy lights were a little different,so I was going to try to scan mine but I can't seem to get it to work right.I'll try the brightness/contrast.Thanks for the help.
