I laid out my gauge panel in CAD then had it laser cut out of 14ga stainless. I think that's the way to go. A lot of laser shops do government work cheap. This was $10 cash out the door and they completed it the afternoon I sent the file. If you've got a hand sketch of what you want for a panel I could create the dxf file for you. My gauges are just set in place in the pic but you'll get the idea.

That looks awesome! What type of auto meter gauges are those. Off the top of your head what did you pay for the 7 gauges?

Mine are actually Equus gauges from Summit Racing. The trip gauges (oil pressure, temp, and volts) were $49, the tach was $79, speedo was $79, fuel level was $19, Tranny temp was $49. Those are from memory, even though it wasn't long ago. Autozone does carry most of these too.

And thank you. I am happy with how they're turning out.

Nice. I've been laying my dash out but I already purchased the hole saws to cut it. Note if you're using Autometer gauges: All the holes are the same size as the gauge. So a 2 5/8 gauge uses a 2 5/8 hole EXCEPT the Tach/Speedos. The 5 inch takes a 4 5/8 hole. Will be using Contura XlV's. My dash looks busy so I might change it still.

I would like the same thing but with the ability to mount the whole system under the dash!

Thanks for the info about the gauges. I will be starting to get my autometer gauges soon. I

I'm planning on doing my dash similar to yours. Just going to buy all my first before pulling out my dash to install them. Thinking I will try and do it when I throw in the 351W. Are you going to be using the 5" gauge for your tach and speedo?
