Sorry. I met new gage layout with Auto Meter gauges and Painless switch panel.

I have been away from hobby for 40 years so it's slow going for me.

Nice, clean look. I mounted my 8 track player in the speaker hole many, many years ago!
I thought I'd enclose a photo of my custom dash, in primer.

For us that like,Custom Dashes,looks great!!!When I did the 63 Fury,,used the same location of stock instruments but made new aluminum panel the same size as stock,with new same size holes and location but new Autometer Pro Stock gauges ,5 1/2"-160mph speedo,3 1/2" rpm tac,and new Autometer 2 1/2",temp,oil,,volts All in same location and size ,even glued on old plastic center pieces to each gauge,,looked great and you had to look twice to tell if it was stock or not!Sorry ,looked for, pics but couldn't find,but hope you get the idea! Also ,held on with only 4 ss machine bolts and Quick connectors for wiring which made it sooo easy to get behind dash .,,2,minutes not two hours,, This was a old trucker thing,when we had finger screws and hinge dash,cheers

Jim - yeah it would be great to see a photo of your dash. I've been looking around for options to re-do my dash in my '63 Fury. Some years ago I put in a '62 dash liking the gauges and layout more than the '63 and installed a tach where the clock goes. I had the cover re-chromed but now looks like crap. I've posted a pic. Ya can't clean or wipe it as it just takes off the plating. Also wondering about new or re-done gauges. Any info would be appreciated. Ron H.

You know Ron,,I will look more at some of the photos, and find a picture,,most people that saw the car,,,said it was done awesome,just like a up grade from the factory,if you special ordered one!!I think I will do another,for the 4dr Fury,because it worked so well and still hate to lay upside down under the dash ,like while I"ll am here,let's fix the heater,A/C,radio,etc.Went through the same as you,,plastic dash just wasn't doing it,so took dash out and started designing with paper cutouts and fitting Autometer photo copy gauges,til it looked good,and made the real deal out of aluminium.Also if you do this,make a separate cover plate for push buttons,makes it easy to line up.Cheers

My panel is also a 4 screw removal system. Too old to crawl under dash.
