My custom gauge setup
dashgauges.jpg


I removed the section of the dash that extends toward the driver and we made this plate to bolt up to the original mounting holes. I think in the future I will be swapping the entire dash out for a Cutlass dash :idea: and also an aftermarket, smooth steering column (nothing but a turn signal lever)
