Default Plug and play gauge set up

I did a search and the number of threads is countless.......yet I don't see what I am looking for.

Is there anyone who makes the center gauge console and the tach/dash with auto meter type gauges already installed? My problem is I don't have the tools or the experience to make something like this myself, at least not to look as good as I want it to look.

I love turning wrenches but I am also realistic enough to know what I am and am not good at.

Anyone point me in the right direction for a plug and play kit?

Nothing available as a pre-assembled component that I know about. Also, having the gauges is only part of the solution. Those gauges need to have compatible "senders" for them to work properly.

Ya I was aware of the senders, was just hoping there was a "kit" out there.

There is probably not enough business 'volume' for C3 conversions to justify a special package.

I actually found a reference to a vendor who sells preinstalled gauge kits. I do not know them, but just saw them referenced in a different thread...
