Custom gauge cluster
Started fabricating my gauge cluster today. Going to install two 5" Autometer gauges. What do you guys think?

Re: Custom gauge cluster
I was also just about to say it looked like a pair of shades. Looks like nice fab work. I'm curious to see this mocked up.

Re: Custom gauge cluster
I saw this on another post. I'm trying to figure out how it's going to go? Only 2 5" gauges and that's it? Can you give a little more insight? It certainly looks different. Just trying to visualize the end result. I am making my own too. 5" autometer tach and speedo with 4 autometer 2 5/8th gauges.

Re: Custom gauge cluster
Looks good. I love a break from the norm.

Re: Custom gauge cluster
Thanks everyone for the great comments. I'll post more pics when gauges are installed. These are the gauges I'll be installing.

Re: Custom gauge cluster
Installed my Dakota Digital gauges today to see what it will look like. What do you guys think? I'm not sure what to do in between the gauges.

Re: Custom gauge cluster
Although I am not a huge fan of custom dashes, I have always admired great fabrication skills and it is looking very nice. I have to ask if the "cluster" itself will be removable from the dash when finished or all wiring and work done from behind the dash?
Keep up the good work. Tom

Re: Custom gauge cluster
So you went with different gauges. You do nice fab work. Right now it kind of reminds me off Wall E. Maybe some sort of cool Park Reverse 1 2 3 type gauge in the middle?

Re: Custom gauge cluster
What did you do with your old cluster? Did it burn the printed circuit??
