I know this isn't really a machining projects, but they are fabrication projects. I apologize for the lack of in process pics.
I got really fed up with just having idiot lights for my two John Deere tractors. So here are my solutions to the problem. The pods are all sheet metal with a powder coat finishes. These were great mods to my machines. The tractors are a 2305 and a 2520. The hardest part of the project was cutting holes in the hoods. The temp and oil pressure gauges are mechanical. I made cardboard templates for patterns. Everything was hand formed without any special metal forming tools.
Woooo Hoooo no more guessing.
