if you try this, I've heard that paper shines light through. so try to find a different material to print on. Maybe thick paper, like poster boards would work.

Wow never realized how easy that would be, only hard thing is printing it out to scale, and taking the guages out withough busting the needles.
I got my next project, as soon as I get time. --------------------  |

And since we all have the same car, if someone can just post a copy of their scan - we all can just use that one.
