92 Camaro RS anyone make a cluster for autometer gauges?

I've searched and searched and searched, no hope. I see people doing their own mods, but I don't have the tool work to make things happen. My '92 is a drag/street car and I would like to put in aftermarket gauges in the cluster area. If anyone knows a company or someone that custom makes these please let me know! thanks (:

As far as I know or have seen all of them are custom made. I have thought of making a fiberglass or a plastic one but I want my car to keep the stock look.

just grab a sheet of 16 or 18 guage steel from home depot and trace out the shape of the guage cluster cover on there and cut it out, then drill some holes and you're done. shouldn't take more than 3 hours start to finish.

I seen a post not to long ago with a member using a wood pattern and wrapped in in vinyl I believe and had white autometer gauges. It turned out VERY nicely.

yep 90+ is totally different

I have one of those covan clusters from my 83 and I just keep it for tracing out holes for gauges.
