I made this to get some ideas on making the cluster look better while trying to keep busy. I don't want to have the cups on the backs so if you have any ideas LMK.Yes I will paint it.

Mike All you need on top would be feul press and boost press gauges. The rest would be in the car. If i had kept my roots i'd have mounted the 2 gauges with a bracket off the back of the blower angled a bit towards the driver. I have the 2 gauges in cups directly in front of me for the procharger set up.It would be less of a visibility restriction and a little cleaner look.Just my
Thanks for the tips!I may change things a time or two so it is good to have options.

I feel the same about my dash so what did you do run the wires,tube up the side and over?I dont think my mech temp gauge will go that far but it is a option.
yes up the side all tucked away. My temp and oil pressure were mounted below the dash as usual. Those were just the gauges I added for the boost. The Fuel pressure is electric. The sending unit was mounted on the fuel line by the carb. (see pix)
