    Due to popular response I am designing another cluster insert prototype as the one shown for my car is hand made. I didn't think it would get this kind of response and be making another one for specs and production. The cluster frame is made from plastic and pexi-glass assembled by hand with epoxy and is finished with fiberglass and then primmered. I am designing it to universal for standard size guages so you can pic your own guage style. i will start another thread to keep everyone updated. You can also visit my shop website and I will keep it updated with progress and availbility. www.kusstumautorepair.com

    Sorry to pass the news along if you had not heard, but he passed away. That gauge panel won't be coming unless his family makes it available.

    I went ahead and made my own.

    I'm sorry to hear about that.

    I'm working on making my own out of fiberglass, hopefully it turns out decent. It'll probably take me months to get together all the gauges and hook-ups I need though, they're pretty expensive.

    I have Stewart Warners in mine, they look pretty close to the factory gauge. The green line style gauges in SW are nice as well.
