Here you go - just trace around this panel and transfer to yours.

Only two thousand three hundred a four gauges to make a template, crap I forgot about the clock, here we go again front the beginning..... classic mate , that is the way I’ve always done them, measure 6 times and drill once per hole , just me not afraid to show how I do it , they have to be cross measurement anyway or they would look funny drawing your eyes on the crooked gauge , look like a cobblestone road , nothing worse than crooked gauges.... all nice and jump up in the truck and err err ok

Ok , I tried before to do it on my own but lining the paper was just to much , and undoing them , trace forty holes on one page and after that I need some one to write the labels out and I’ve decided that I cannot fit all of them on mine so if you want I could get you to do them in your truck, who ever we get to file the holes in the paper can give you a hand till I’m ready to punch them holes in my dash , Jim

That cockpit is the one Lang had on his billycart when he was ten years old. Just imagine what he has now:lol:

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

I wondered where he got the pictures so fast , he stood in middle of his bedroom and snapped a 3D Pick .

This is what it is from. One of the best looking heavy bombers ever the B36 of the late 40's. 6 turbo props and 4 pure jets. Here we have James Stewart (who was a real WW2 bomber pilot) and Colonel Potter in a former life as an air-force engineer.

lang,

That can't be Colonel Potter.

He said he served in the Infantry in France ion the first World War and fell in love with a French girl.

At least thats's what he said on M.A.S.H.

Quite remarkable for them to fly together.

Me think I may have found it, the tacho In this needs some Ac power before it is rectified to work so that’s the wire they added for u cliffo... some one else , think it was oil man said the same thing, , now all I have to do is get a sparky and hope he doesn’t charge (pun baha) $300
