The gauges are Autometer ProComps. They do come with sensors. I had to buy a couple of adapters, but nothing expensive (see pictures below). I bought all the gauges and boardmember Putter installed them in the bezel (here's a link to the writeup:

Mar-K makes high quality parts. I have purchased many from them and toured their shop. It's a first notch operation! OK, now for some progress. I had my glass guys install the rear hatch glass and the 2 side glasses. They will be back next week to put the front windshield in. I call them my "glass guys" because I won't let anyone else touch my projects, . They've been doing glass for me for about 15 years. They're car guys and the truly enjoy working on older vehicles (they've been in business for 42 years!). Here's some pictures of the glass and a couple of pictures of my solution to putting the temperature sender in the passengers side head. It's a 1/8 npt to 12mm 1.5 bushing. It beats drilling and retapping the head and it's not as bulky as the adapters most people use.
