68 70 charger styled A body dash insert

On the original they are recessed, as I fabricate it up, and purchase the gages. I will see how it goes. more than likely i will just flat panel mount them instead of recess them.

As with most things going on in my life as of lately this will be a slow process. I work during the week, then I'm Mr Mom on the weekends. When my wife is at work, I'm dealing with the kids. I have been going out to the shop at 8:30 in the evenings on the weekend after the kids are asleep to get some time for myself. Not much time to really do anything, as they get up way too early for me on my days off. Gone are the days of me burning the midnight oil to get **** accomplished. Actually ordering and buying the parts is easy. I used to have the time, not anymore, but I do have a bit of cash now that my wife is working again, so I am ordering stuff I need to keep the project going partswise at least.

I'd like to keep this thread alive, but if it gets lost eventually I will post more pix and and a new thread to update it. Right now I as am typing this i am trying to keep my 1 year old from trying to push buttons on the keyboard. Is it so awful that my favorite time of the day on weekends is when they all go to bed, and i get some me time?? I honestly dont know how my wife does it without going insane. I think women are made for rearing kids, which is why us men go to work. Dont get me wrong, i love my kids, but sometimes I'd rather deal with the ID10T's I have to deal with at work, than babysit when I know theres stuff I'd like to get done.

sorry I'm ranting in this thread, its just now that i spent an evening after the kids went to sleep making the template, and this morning with my 6" scale and a compass laying out the gages after telling the kids to leave my stuff, and me alone for a bit. I actually got that part done to my satisfaction. now weather or not i get the rest of it done is a different story. i just hope that by the time i actually have the time to build this car i actually still have some G.A.S. left (Give A ****)

anybody else deal with these issues? and how do you deal with them? id like to know.

thanks
matt
