Can anyone help me with who makes a dash insert for a 69 camaro besides Detroit Speed & Covans?

Thanks
Mike

Mike, what is your goal of the dash?

I am looking for a cost effective way to get aftermarket gauges installed in a build for a client. We made our last one and worked great but was very labor intensive. I am trying to give him options. I know Autometer also makes a pod for the center console too. We will want to put six or seven gauges into a relatively stock style interior. We are using power c-5 vette seats and the stock dash framework. We will make or buy everything else. While not stock we are trying to do this on somewhat of a budget. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

I've seen a 69 with about 6 gauges mounted in the passenger side of the dash before. They were recessed and aimed towards the driver, in that area between the ashtray/glovebox and the dash pad. Looked pretty cool, I wish I had taken a photo. Then your typical tach/speedo in the stock locations.

Autometer also has a stock dash gauge replace pod that holds 2 5" inch guages and 4 or 6 2 1/8" gauages. I have seen several 1st gen f-bodies have them. Looks great and is a bolt in replacement.

I don't see any mounting solution from Autometer for a 1st gen other than the console pod. Do you have a Part# or a link?
