post pictures of custom guage clusters.

I'm going to be doing a custom guage cluster. Anyone have pictures of a completed one. Also, does anyone make or sell a template or panel to work with?

Re: post pictures of custom guage clusters.

i made one and posted pics/how to of it but it was years ago. Made it out of 18 guage steel and bought from the mac tools guy the proper hole saws to drill out the holes for the guages. I only have a pic from years ago.



the blinkers/lights are from radio shack, they had all kinda of lights there.

Re: post pictures of custom guage clusters.

What would I have to do to get one of those from you? It would save me a lot of time and agrivation if I could just get one done.

Re: post pictures of custom guage clusters.

Hawks has these as well, but for a very $$NICE$$ price.

What would something like this go for. I'd like Brushed Aluminum with 2 center gauges and 2 5" gauges along with blinker holes as well. Might reconfigure a few things but just looking for ball park price if you can in fact get these done.

Re: post pictures of custom guage clusters.

Here is what I had planned awhile back but ended up putting on the back burner like countless other mods I do lol.

Early stages , I have collected some Gauges from other Pontiacs for various fitament tests to keep everything stock looking. It's going to be real fun when I egt around to making a custom plastic trim plate and make it look stock...

For my 4thgen dash but with a 3rdgen twist.

So far I've been talking with, FastLS1, alscamaro89 and raptor80dad about them possibly getting one. I'll send you a PM of what I've told them.
