64-66 Gauge cluster
Has anyone attempted to make a new gauge cluster? I have seen replacement gauge clusters for sale that go in the factory location and allow you to install aftermarket spedo, tach, etc. Has anyone made one before? If you so, do you have any pics?

Re: 64-66 Gauge cluster
My 65 has a custom gauge cluster but I didnt make it. Ill investigate it further in the next week or so and let you know what I find out. It has all dolphin gauges, white face with black numbers mounter in what looks like a birch veneer panel. The rest of the dash is finished in the same birch like veneer.

Re: 64-66 Gauge cluster
This is what I'm looking to make. Thanks for the link. The all white dash with the four Circular gauges is what I'm looking to make.

Re: 64-66 Gauge cluster
No its just smoked just like 5% window tint looks, i may paint the backside black just so you won't be able to see wires or anything through it.
