Really fine work so far - would love to have a copy of your templates.

Putting individual gauge pods in a plate just seems like a total waste of time, considering the digital capabilities available now.
Holley has their digital dash that does all that. It will not display on a double din and there may or may not be enough room to stack it above a DD.

Nice work gentlemen.

I'd like the NAV setup too but want more engine gauges.
Have to think that one through.
I am changing the dash from my 75 into a 78 so I have a glove box.

Keep up the inspiration.....

Yeah, I have the std Alpine installed in my dash plus 5 AutoMeter gauges are mocked up. Saw the double din unit and damn I like that. I could move the fuel gauge to the main console and drop the tranny temp gauge, leaving just water temp, oil pressure, and volt meter in the center. I am seriously thinking. Glove box, meh - mine is taken up with aftermarket AC.
