Wow  - like an all glass control panel on a jet. sweet! That carbon fiber panel on the Challenger doesnt excite me but the gauges sure do.  Real nice - I wonder what that setup cost? gauges are probably internally illuminated?

Very Very nice.  Thinking about doing something similar on my Pro Street.

For something original looking but different, the dash cluster from 71-74 B bodies have the same dash pad contours as an E body, but a completely different layout. maybe someone can post some pics of one.

What kind of material is that you are using for the overlay?  Is it a printed vinyl or a real wood veneer?  It looks too nice for mere words  :2thumbs:

Ragtop,
I agree on the Bob Johnson dash. It's my favorite. I've asked before in this thread.....does anyone know if it's a one off (I'm pretty certain it would be on that caliber of car) or does anyone out there have the capabilities of making an insert like this? I'm probably going to go with the Rocky Mountain Dashes unit and custom finish it to look similiar to this on the actual finish. Possibly I could bead blast the finish if to mimic the look.
