Need ideas on replacing stock instrument panel
I want to find a template or panel if someone makes one. Or is it better to make one from scratch. I plan on using all new aftermarket gauges. Thanks in advance for the help.

what im going to do is take a spare cluster that I got for nothing and strip it out, then have a guy I use to custom make my panels that I put in boats cut me a new layout on his lazer machine and put the cutouts for the turn signals back in.
This way I could pre-wire it all on the bench and have it all sit behind the stock plexi cover.
Easily though you could take a piece of abs and cut your gauges out and put it over the stock one.

Make a template (the shape of your gauge holder plate)with a Piece of Aluminum..map out where you want your gauges and install them..Use the Plastic face of the old Cluster to Protect your New gauges or Keep it off for the Bling Effect..Look up 85rotarypower's Thread on his gauge Set-up.he made from scratch..looks good,although it is for First Gen,you may be able to get Ideas from it..Good Luck,,STYX!~
