Tomorrow the casting guy gives the gauge panel bezel a shot. As mentioned, he said the investment mold came out nice (I haven't seen it yet), so it's just a matter of getting the molten aluminum bronze to fill it completely...
In case he's really in the mood to pour lots of molten metal, I cut the pedestal today. It came out so nice it deserves to be investment cast too, but a simple sand cast would work because it's (purposely) a tiny bit over-sized so I can hand fit the two pieces together.
