Dash set up/gauges, want ideas or opinions

[Nick.V70]

So I am almost done gathering all parts to do my interior re-do, I purchased a SS dash for my 70' Chevelle and I am still on the fence of what gauges to use. I was thinking I really like the clean look of the Dokata Dig. Set up but thought I would see if anyone had opinions or ideas of another direction. I am going for a clean not to custom look, but also have seen some nice Auto Meter gauged dash's so need help from you guys.

Both SW and Auto Meter bave some great looking sets that would look great in a stock dash.

Even just the basic Z series from AM looks great. Not at all overdone, just clean and simple.

What is the theme of the car? What era and feeling sre you trying to evoke?
I see plenty of dashes with off the shelf stuff and would like to see people paying attention to detail on the gauges a bit more.
Something like these are good for a 60s/70s car.

I want to keep the inside stock looking but with new flash. So far I ordered a set of the Fesler door panels and already have ready to install all origenal SS buckets, rear seat, center concel, carpet and head liner.

I don't want to do any super custom fab gauge set up but was looking at this:

But load it with some AM Nexus or other model, not sure.


Other wise I have my eye on the Dakota Dig set up. Like it because it's clean and most would not notice it at first look.

I always prefer an analog setup, easier to read for me anyway. The late 60s early 70s chevys had graphics similar to above.

Not a big fan of the look of digital gages. I like to see needles and numbers. :yes:

I agree 1000%.
