Ive never seen a analog aftermarket cluster, But dakota digital makes a cool digital replacment

As flat as it looks, It don't look like it would be very hard to make a analog cluster using aftermarket gauges and some fiberglass work.

it was easy using aftermarket gauges a piece of flat sheet metal and some expensive hole saws...



mind you I will be redoing it in the future. I want to customize the entire dash using bondo + fiberglass for a more modern look. I'm a cheap student though so this was good enough for now.
