Running out of aftermarket gauge room? Here's something different...

[mrmolding]

There is a Coronet for sale in the LA area on FB and this was one of the pics. I have never seen anyone do this! Not sure if I like it or not, but I wanted to share.

I actually thought about doing that once

I have also thought about doing it, as it would make them more visible, but can't bring myself to cut the holes in the dash.

I have two on a gauge pod underneath and it can be challenging looking up and down a lot. Had I not just spent a few days getting mine back on after and I did the voltmeter/ammeter change I might be up for it. It was easy when I had the seat out but with my 73 rr roller blocking the door to open all the way and removing the seat, getting the dash trim on and off is a lot of patience. Another year maybe…

I did something similar years ago on my '67 Bel

I went with a Racepak dash. It has 4 different screens with 6 gauges per screen. So, 24 gauges in one pod.

I kind of like that look. Since my 65 Belvedere wagon is more of an old-school build, I might try something like that.

I did that to my Bird back in the day. Wish I hadn't. The delete is available if anyone wants it. Free including shipping.

All better now.

I had 428CJ Ranchero that a previous owner had put four SW gauges above the glove box. I built some angled spacers to tilt them toward me. If I was stuck with them there, I might as well make em so I can see em!

no not good always try to find a flat surface if its 68 or 69 maybe this would work

You can cut, chop, and butcher a dash any way you want. But.. all we did was install a 2 or 3 gauge pod under the dash below the radio.

The dash looks much cleaner without gauges hanging down and taking up space unless its a pure race car!
