Default Custom Interior

I will be replacing my interior in my 79 and I was think about going custom rather than resto. Anyone done custom interiors, just trying to get some ideas. Post pics if you got them, or point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Like those Autometer gauges GroovyJay. I'm interested in doing a custom interior as well in my 75.

Default custom int.

One of the problems is that my orig. color is oyster, I kinda want to keep the orig dash even if I mod it abit. But I really like the sparcos, thinking about that. Is that stainless on the dash that you mount the guages on? Nice....if anyone know which car "MD" or others post pics.
