Im making bezzles for these gauges that replicate bomber gauges.

I guess I need to try and match the work I have already done, with a dash, but I have also thought about re-using the stock dash pad and making a ne gauge cluster, due to no deisgn I have found online is something I would like to wok with. maybe a 67-72 dash? I don't know

any input will be great, im trying not to be too square and 1980's looking, either more classic or something rounded

maybe something like the early vettes that use the bar as the roll cage

Odd idea here, but 58 Pontiac gauge pods could look pretty cool if done right.

I just bought a dash for my 85 C10 from Diy4x.com i know you wanted something that wasn't so square but it might give you some ideas. It's two peices. and all aluminum.
