Thanks Texas63 & Vernski..

I took a piece of 3" aluminum channel, cut the flange on one side down to about 1/8" high...(what is now the trim line below the gauges), leaving the other flange alone...so I could drill and mount it to the bottom of the dash.
Then I cut the holes for the gauges and toggle switches. I also had to make a radius...1/2 moon....cut on the top ctr. for the column...
I'll take a close up.
It was actually fairly easy and looks pretty good for a midnight fab-job.

Thanks for the props.
