Dash Layout. Suggestions...?

[NY-Bronco]

X2, and for me that means some iteration of this or similar. Still being refined, but . . . .

Thats awesome man! I love the idea of having the gauges in a "normal" location. Im just playing with various dash overlays right now and just making a mess.

This one is still my favorite:

I know you are joking! LOL!!! But that dash is from like a 55 Chevy or something I believe. Looks pretty sweet but the fact it is from a Chevy to me makes it useless in a FORD! ;D

It's a Bel-Air dash. I surmise either customized from original metal or fab'd from the 'glass versions that are re-produced.

Ford, Chevy,...regardless, they put a lot of time into it and came up with an incredible dash!

that Bronco belongs to a local here and in person it's 100 times better looking than the photo. it resembles a dash from a '55, '56 or '57 Chevy in design lines but who cares. original idea, expert craftsmanship and top notch result. you should see the whole Bronco in person. a real showstopper that would win 1st in any show.

Oh, don't misinterpret me! I think that the idea was awesome and the execution was top notch to put it mildly. I have no doubt that it looks even better in person. I would love to see it in person some day. ;D

Looked over all of the dash pics to see If I could find something simple to do... I did not want to take the dash out and did not want to just pop them in.

A little different, still want to touch up and make an aluminum bezle with clear plastic to cover the new cluster of gauges. I was only using the original cluster for the speedo and the main reason was to get a gas gauge working.

So here is my new "cluster"... Not exactly as I had pictured in my mid but they all work!

3 3/8" speedo
2" fuel (programable)
1.5" water,volts and oil
LED turn signals and high beam indicator

After going through it I think next time I would just go with a sealed Bronco type unit. Even buying lower cost gauges you still end up paying a chunk... A little more and your wiring is much cleaner. An electric speedo would have put me at the starting price of the new Bronco versions out.
