This may have been more work than I expected but I like the results.
:bradsthumb: Nice job!
Very cool....what about a speedo ?
I kept the original speedo. Cut the clear lens in half on a scroll saw and kept that part just over the speedo.
The scroll saw moves a bit too fast and the plastic would weld itself back together immediately after a pass.
Everything here was a challenge.
Does Auto Meter make a speedo that large...that would be cool :thinking:
Nice job of integrating those gauges, that looks good! :bigthumb:
PS- buy a variable speed saw and that re-welding issue goes away. :cheers:
Old thread but I'm interested in doing this for my Cuda. Are you using 2 1/16" or 2 5/8" gauges?

Here is another option?

Nice job. Looks good. I almost went that route with mine also. Decided to go with the Racepak dash. If gives me 24 gauges total. 6 per screen on 4 different screens. That way I can run a street gauge display and change it for out at the track for a race display. I made a dash block off panel.
Here's what I did.

Is see dash panels are available for standard gauges FYI...

Sorry such a delay here.
Yes 2 1/16 guages.
I found the polycarbonate clear tube on ebay and used a wheel hub centering ring for a spacer.
I have a lot more pictures of this.

If you would share your photos, it would be much appreciated. I'm thinking about taking my 3 gauge pod under the dash out and doing this.
