    I've been considering this for my conversion from standard dash. Considering the rallye clusters are expensive and half the time not accurate.

    They look great but wiring is my nemesis.  I buddy of mine has DD gauges in his '70 Charger and it is nothing but a nightmare, mostly because the previous owners hack installation job. How hard is it and what is all included to convert over (wiring, alt, bulkhead, etc).

    Looks nice, but I wonder how bad it would be to wire up,

    Not sure about these DD gauges but the Speedhut gauges were very simple to wire up and electrical is not my strong point either. I can't imagine the DD being any different?  I MUCH prefer the stock looking overlays !  :2thumbs:

    The member is crash340 (he is in Australia), I cannot speak for DD, but since they are doing one I suspect they would replicate it as many times as they received orders for. They may think this is a "one off" deal presently but if more people contacted them, they may begin to believe there is a market for it.

    crash340 nailed it, with his design DD might sell enough gauge packages to justify venturing into the Mopar world.. I seriously doubt the original design will sell as well as his...  :2cents:  Most Mopar guys like modern technology but prefer to keep the vintage styling as much as possible...

    Here is the thread about that:

    I'm considering that setup also, wanna see it first when crash340 gets it.
