I'm considering making my own instrument cluster so I can utilize more modern guages, speedo, tach, etc. So, can you folks show me yours? Maybe also incluse how you made it? It currently has a '71 Rallye dash instrument cluster. The car is a '70 Duster, 340, 4-speed, 8.75 with 3.91's. Thanks in advnace!

those are actually vinyl stickers. Usually in a mall near you, there are those little kiosks that they will make stickers for your windshield or that type of thing. I asked them to make it with Lime green. I think the whole thing cost me like $15 for lettering

Would it be possible your gauge cluster will be for sale in the future? I'd be interested

Hey Crazy68Dart, did you ever get the pics of that dash for me? 
Here are your pics. These are terrible, no light, on the floor. I'll get some more when I get it in the car. That and the dash pad is filthy. A bit rushed tonight...
Anyway, my goal was to have a "strictly business" look to it, with no visible fasteners. I didn't want the dash to look like a factory dash with an aftermarket insert bolted to it. I also smoothed the ash tray, and removed the lower pad (this is a '68 dash) since it chopped it up too much.
