    Here's one style... actually was taking a picture of that pistol grip handle, hand made from real walnut tree by undersigned  :grinyes:
    I used the rpm gauge underneath the dask.. didn't want to ruin it with holes and it fits nicely in the "clock-corner"  :thumbs:

    I'm thinking of putting Autometers or even the Mopar logoed one in the dash.  Non rally or custom.

    That's what I want.  Who made the panel and what size gauges?  I have a non rally setup and would love to go to that.

    I made the panel. The speedo and tack are 5" and the other gauges are 2 5/8 . Its aluminum plate that is covered  in carbon fiber.....it was easy to make just made a template out of cardboard.
     Here is the site to buy the sheets of carbon fiber!

    Nice job Dave!  How was that Vintage Air unit to put in?  We're in the middle of it now.

    Do you have a pic of your buddy's engine bay to see where he has his hoses coming out of the firewall?  That would great.  Thanks.

    Hey Onebadhemi, thanks for posting the photo, and link to the carbon fiber, that is a cool dash.

    I'm going to do the same, but did you start with a "Rallye" or "STD" dash?

    Is it mounted on top of the old dash, or did you make the aluminum plate to fit in place of the plastic dash?

    What is the carbon fiber sheet thickness, and it looks to be curved at the sides, any problem with it wanting to crack??

    started with a rallye cluster

    I made an aluminum plate that went right over the top of the original plate then cut the holes for the gauges!

    The carbon fiber sheets are thicker than a mail envelope......no problems with cracking for me :thumbs:

    OneBadHemi, awesome job with that carbon fiber install. :o :drool:  It looks really nice in there with that configuration. :drool:
    Outlaw, that too is looking pretty cool.  Are those shift lights customized for your turn signal indicators?  Hopefully not cause those things are bright!!
