The easy way is to get blank decal paper and print them through an inkjet printer after scaling them correctly. Use some Decal Fix to set the colors before getting it wet (tends to run otherwise...)

Either that, or learn to paint REAL carefully...

You can build them with scratch stylene................

I used an axel from my Civic once, also a metal distributor, just have to add the shift light if desired.

For the gauge face, you can cut a small gauge from another car's gauge cluster, I dont know about the tach, try searching for little tach-like things next time you go to a hardware store
