Need a new gauge cluster

Was wondering if anyone would be interested in making a new gauge cluster for me. I want to use 2 1/16 and 3 3/8 gauges. I have the stock rings. Thanks

Re: Need a new gauge cluster

I'm about to make one... What material do you want to use and how many gauges are you wanting to use?

Re: Need a new gauge cluster

I just made mine and spent $35 on it and some time and to me its functional as thats the way I like it. It looks killer in the car and matches the dash

Re: Need a new gauge cluster

I was going to try and make one but I can't find the plastic to even attempt it. Yours does look good but I want it to look somewhat stock too.

Re: Need a new gauge cluster

Does anyone know where I can get a plug and play harness for the autometer gauges. I really don't wanna hack my harness under the dash
