Hey guys,I now it sounds crazy but I am looking for gauge style ideas . I have been working on some lcd gauges for my car and wondered if I could get some input on the layout or see if someone had some different ideas. I want to stick with the retro look but high tech. Here are some pics so far... input on layout and placement encouraged.

I sent my ideas to a guy and he is building on my ideas. But I want to explore different ideas, other peoples ideas.
The final layout will be sent to MiModhp.

I think the bottom one is the best. But I think it looks awkward to have them overlapping. I would spread them out just a bit.

That last one looks great. It has a high tech oem yet purposeful performance look.

what i have thought about a few times recently was;
cutting Vertically through the cluster & make it longer Horizontal wise, that way u can install more bigger crazier gauges in the baby sized ChevyII cluster, then do the same to the dash of course...

its just an idea ok, dont burn me on it!! LoL

BTW thats a beautiful ChevyII u got there :yes: :thumbs up:
