Installed my new gauges (pics)

Well, I installed my new gauges over the last couple of days. I think they look pretty good. Any opinions? I'm new at this stuff so go easy on me.

Looks pretty good. How easy are they to read when driving?

I don't get this link and pic thing. Sometimes the pics work, sometimes they don't. I was able to copy and pate the links into a new window and they came up.

They read real easy accept for the gauge hidden behind the tilt stick. No biggy.

I got them at Classic Instruments. They ran me $425 with the tach.

Sharp looking gauges I'm not real sure if I like the placement or not, but if it works for you that's all that matters. The workmanship looks real good!

Tanks! I had a tough time trying to figure out a decent layout. It works for now but may change in the future. I made everything "detachable" so I can pull the plate whenever I want. I'm totally open to suggestions.

The gauges themselves look very good. They have a kind of class I hope you can continue throughout the car. I bet it'd look great when you finish. What's going in the middle?
I think the layout needs some work too, but I can't think of how to go about it..

's nice..

I was going to put the dummy lights in the middle. I was thinking about cutting the transparents from the old stock plastic. I'm not sure yet.

I'm not too concerned with that stuff but that should be included in the dummy lights. I may just add a blue LED for the high beams.
