Custom Dash / Instrument Panels

Would love to see pics of what you guys have done with your dash/instrument panels - especially custom jobs with aftermarket gauges / gloveboxes, etc.

Did you buy or make a blank panel or did you weld up holes on the old one?

Let's see 'em!

 

I had a metal fab shop make a blank dash with mounting holes and glove box hole and flanges punched out.Ithen cut holes for AutoMeter gauges,radio,speakers,switches,heat


er controls,and indicater lamps.

they also made it out of heavier gauge metal.the steering is mounted independant of the dash.

Check my 3B album.

 

I made this myself by bending it in a break, laying out the gauges and filling holes with autometer gauges.

like the "last place" badge... hahah

heres mine

all switches moved to center console for easier access while straped in.


a little rough needs some finishing... like pulling the masking tape off

 

Not finished yet since I am still in the middle of a 100% rewire Job

 

I like this one. And I think you could use the upper and lower bars to tie into the A tubing of the cage.

 

I made a custom panel out of aluminum plate using Autometer guages. I then cut a hole in the dash to mount it too.

And select dash from the butttons at the top.

 

I started with this.


And ended up with this.

 

Heres mine....planning on redoing it down the road.....but I do like it.

 

man i really like all these ideas...great thread!
we should make this a sticky.

 

Don't you have a speedo?

 

i like the idea of a removeable center panel.makes changing bulbs ect a lot easier.i think i'll go with a smaller hole,like the m38s.

 

Nice!

 

wonder how the glare is if the sun was behind you, it does look clean though
