Default Pics of my custom center gauge panel...

I like it a lot...only problem is my radio won't fit now...guess I'll have to get one of those custom autosounds "stealth" radios

I'll probably get a wiper switch from one of the Hot Rod suppliers and my fan toggle switch will be removed when I hook up the fan to the DFI.

Very Very nice. When I saw the car it only had the speedo and tach. The center guage cluster is very nice. I love those aluminim pedals. Gotta get me some of them.

Sharp looking set up! Did you build the panel yourself or have it done?

Thanx for all the comments guys.

They are Autometer gauges...Summit & Jegs carry them...I've only had them since 98 or so waiting to be installed!!

I did not make the panel myself...had a local shop do it.

I will probably add a few lights and switches to it soon...like maybe a Nitrous arming switch and a rear smoke screen switch

Cool! We are doing somewhat the same thing. I'll have 8 (yep, eight) 25/8" Ultralites in the instrument cluster. The radio/CD and A/C controls have been relocated to the console, and we will use the shift pattern area for more switches. Love this stuff.

By the way, where did you get the aluminum pedals? That idea is on our list, but I haven't found a source. Can you email me with some info?

Those gauges rock and I love the race prepped looking gauge cluster. Send me some info on where to get those aluminum pedals. Great stuff keep up the good work.

Jvette73: No Nitrous(yet) that button is for the line lock.

ScubaJKD: I picked up those pedals years ago at a speed shop for around $40.

I did find some at this link though:
