Default new gauges

well i didnt want to shell out the big money for a premade setup so i built my own cluster for my chevelle. it was the big sweep style gauges. i had only fuel level and speed. i built this for under $400 bucks and it took about 7hrs total. the real challenges were a) the cluster has a curve in it and is taller on one side that the other from the factory making it a measurement nightmare, and b) very limited room to work with. all of the factory warning lights and gear selector and everything still works. as soon as my led bulbs come in and i figure out what to do about my speedometer cable problem, i will install it and take more pictures. enjoy..

I like this as well give you the stock apperance at first but then you notice the custom. Very clever.
