He's Where I Used To Have My Gauges.

Here's My Tach

Here's Where The Gauges Are Now. I Painted A New Instrument Cluster So I Didn't Put The Gauges Back In.

This is where I put mine.

Not a very good pic, sorry.

I fabricated an aluminum panel that spans from door to door and mounted it to the underside of the dash. I attached all the gauges, toggles and airconditioning vents this panel.

I wish they would make a panel for 2 or 3 gauges that your mounted below the dash but you could flip it up backwards to hide. Anyone ever seen such a thing?

No. But I like the idea.

Wouldn't be hard to make either. Just need a hinge, you'd have to come up with a latch/catch to keep it in place when it was up though.

or maybe just a piano hinge with 2 or 3 of the "rolls" pinched just enough to make the hinge stiff.

I took this off an ebay ad somewhere. What I was going to use was the two gauges in the radio hole- cool.

Good job, looks great.
