Ryan, can you take a closer shot of your surround with the gauges?
I will probably just end up buying the 3 gauge and doing 3 more like Ryan's where the climate controls and clock sit.

The thing is that I cannot really bend the plastic.... actually I can... but it will not come out perfect I believe.... I will try to make something like that but I need the shifter console...which I don't have....

Good question. There are 6 mounting points on a 84-85 panel. In the mock-up, we decided to eliminate the 4 lower ones and retain the 2 top mounts. Thats exactly how I did my aluminum panel. Othewise, the holes in the gauge panel will be visible. But again, this is just a mock-up and the more ideas, the better. keep it coming.
thanks guys.

thats funny. I told dave that I will install a 5" gauge, not a tach but an oil pressure gague. thats if I can find soemthing that big. otherwise, the 3 gauge panel will have triple OIL PRESSURE. I hope he can read this.

In my FB, I havent gone that far yet as personally, what I have in mind is to relocate the blower/temp controls down below-say above the ashtray since its just a matter of extending the wires. But in the past, I have used dremel (the drill that can be used as a saw) I cant remember the exact name, in low speed to prevent melting the plastic.
