Started on my dash today. I had removed all of the unnecessary stuff which left large gapping holes in it exposing the harness & firewall. Decided to install a sheet metal type. Would like to see how you did the toggles & gauges.

I cut this one and moved it rearward. It now has a removable gauge panel, to make access to wiring and the rear of the gauges easier. The switches are mounted to the overhead cage bar. My  mark

Mines the JEGS aluminum dash.
I do get some glare off the top if I'm driving into the sun but I've taken to tossing my gloves up in between the tach and shift light and that takes care of it.

Yes, that is a blue shift light 
The main guages are all installed twisted so that when all is GOOD all the needles are flat across. (or close to it). That way I can tell at a glance that all is good or there is a problem and need to take action.

 Have installed an alloy L from the window to the front bar of the cage which holds all electronics / fuses / msd etc. Then a kind of stock formed alloy dash hings on 4 studs. In the end I installed a thin dash cover over all of it which can be removed by 4 dzush fasteners. Complete package still weighs as less as possible while retaining some sort of stock appearence.
