Custom Gauge Cluster for '91 Z28

I'd like to replace the stock gauge cluster in my '91 Z28 with VDO or AutoMeter gauges. Has anybody done this before? If so, how difficult is it to do, and what should I look for while doing it?

You need to measure the the gauge cluster and then make one out of plastic or plexiglass or something. You will only be able to fit 4 of them in there I think. When you get the big speedo and tach two others (We used gas and temp) smaller get a couple of hole saws and drill the holes. It was really easy on an 89 I don't know about a 91 mabey a little harder. There might not be enough clearance behind the guages either.
