Thanks for all the comments, I looked around forever to find gauges that I felt matched the era of the car and Autometer came out with these gauges... They are called American Muscle from Autometer and I got them from Jegs.

Kaiserbud... Those are my turn signals (green), High Beam (Orange) and Emergency brake(red) lights. Since the gauges didn't have those built in I had to find a place for them. I wish Radio Shack had LED lights in blue I would have made the high beam blue like the original dash. They are cheap too, I think they were $2.50 per LED light, which I dont think is too bad. This was a time consuming project but I think the results were definitely worth it!!

I recently finished mine as well. Had to locate turn signal, brake and parking lights in the middle since signal lights were directional and parking light is a P.
Went with carbon fiber - not the classic look, but fits with the 'muscle' theme of the car.
