What is this Covans dash panel??

http://www.covansclassic.com/parts/d...0424.175.2.129




I am looking to replace my gauge cluster completely, and i've seen their other panels, but I've never seen that. Maybe its a typo, but the product description claims that its intended for third gens, and unless its a 91-92 model, I don't see how it could work. Anyone have any input on this ?

That looks like a second gen pannel. Covans makes a dash for third gens....thats not it. Their site has the wrong pic. Here is one for the third gen.

Bah,
I figured it would be something like that. I wish covans made a kit with larger gauges. Im not turned on by the small gauges they offer. That sux. Answers that question.

I'm sure you could get a piece of plexi glass and drill holes for some larger gauges. I think a 5" speedo and tach would fit, but you would need some place else to put the other gauges. On the a-pillar would work. I think I rember seeing someplace selling blank panels.
