Need a dash panel...stainless, alloy.....where to get?

[Plum Crazy 71]

Hey,

I need to replace my non ralley dash panel with a custom version.

Any good tips as far as where to find a good looking custom dash.....like this maybe.

This one is ok, if you are going that route. I wish the Tach and speedo were next to each other

same here...Id already have that in my car if it did...

I agree too. I am having a local machinist make something out of 6061 for me. Similar to the Ralleye Dash, but slightly different. Hoping it turns out nice and fits in the car the first go around (yeah right).

They even show them together in the pic behind the ad...lol.

No idea why they did that. The Ebody dash is the only one like that too. On one hand I can see it more "racecar" like where you have the tach right in the middle and the speedo off to the side. But I'm all about how it looks and a big tach and speedo right next to each other centered on the steering wheel just looks right.

My friend made a plate, and I did the rest.  Pretty simple to do.

I like that too, but I want my tach and speedo both to be large diameter

MAN I love the look of that!  That would be perfect for what I am doing to my car....wish I had the skills to make it!  I like that Devil..just both the tach and speedo in the same cluster....your friend does good work! You should see if he can make them like this...sounds like he might have a few customers already

It would be nice, except it is just a front plate.  The backing is still the original standard gauge cluster, modified.  But I guess if you use a Rallye Gauge cluster backing, and use the plate as the front, it should work.

Interesting...using a rally gauge dash would really limit your gauge selection....since there is only 4 holes....

Get a junk rallye gauge cluster housing, cut it up.  All you need is some support for plate to mount too.

Rallye dash doesn't have the single large pod like the standard one does. It is an even slate all the way across the bottom.
Here is one I am slowly making. Same curve as factory piece but will house the full complement of gauges. With speedo and tach being the larger diameters in the middle as several have mentioned for their preference.

NICE WORK!   That's what I'm talking about!  Are the gauges going in the stock location using the old rally backing or is that a stand alone bolt in piece meaning you can put the gauges anywhere??
