Gauge panel to fit stock A-body dash? - 05/25/13 04:21 PM
I'm interested in making a gauge cluster to fit my '72 Dart which would attach where the original instrument panel goes (and keeping the stock dash/pad). I bought the car shell with no wiring at all and am making my own, so compatibility with the stock harness is not an issue.
I've never fabricated anything like this. What's the best way to go about it?
Mount aluminum sheet over the original plastic cluster? Bend a sheet to fit the opening and discard the original? I have a 3-3/8" Auto Meter speedo and am looking for the matching tach, so those two will be in the center where the old rectangular speedo was.
Any tricks, tips, etc. appreciated. Thanks.
