      Why dont you just put 5" Autometer guages in the factory dash? Thats what I did and it was simple, plus it looks like they grew there.

      For a 67 you are basically looking at Covan's. I don't like theirs. Losts people run them, but if you want something that is different and custom you have to have it fabbed.

      I do agree sticking the 5" Autometers in the 2 hole does look really good and I almost did that.

      classic instruments has a nice guage cluster replacement. I've been eying it up for awhile.

      Or just stick with 3-3/8" in the stock carrier. That is what I am going to do (69 but you get the idea):

      I wish DSE would make their aluminum dash insert for the 67-68 as they have with the 69....

      anyone else have any ideas?

      I've got Speedhut gauges. I like them. I bought mine on there Labor Day sale, they were 20% off which made them a good deal. I had 1 problem, the Speedo bezel keep coming loose as I tightened the mounting screw from the back. The housing is plastic and the threads on the bezel got goobered up somehow. I did however manage to get it to stay. What I like about them the most is the Speedo will work with just about any pulse, and the gas gauge will read any ohm after set up, so I didn't have to change my tank sending unit. Heres a pic

      Did you ever get these installed in the car?
      I would be interested in some feedback on the gauges. How they work. Quality. How they look at night? Maybe some pics from the back to see how they mount. Any lit up night pics?

      Thanks

      Aurora Gauges will let you custom design your gauges, but they're going to be pod style like autometer. You just design the face, and possibly the needles.

      This is what I did on my '68. Really look good and fit is perfect.
