yep that was my other choice, i saw them but decided to go florida50 only b/c they started it first and i dont like the aluminum look in our cars, im just trying to keep it the most stock lookin i can and with my black interior looks hella good, wish i could put my glass back over the gauges though,, figure out what you are going to spend on that piece of aluminum andthen add the gauges to it and i bet you will be surprised that it doesnt really cost that much more to buy it preassembled but they mess things up just like everyone else

That looks totally awesome! I'll never have $600 that I can justify putting in my dash but if I did that's what I'd want it to look like!!

Post a pic when you get the dash put back together.

ill put up some pics once it is all together, i put the housing on it and it looks pretty sweet, but had to pull it off so i could change colors of the lights in the gauges, this is just one of the installs to my project i have posted, others are the heater core and wire hiding, check em all out

OH, yea I totally agree, I just don't like the gauge panel/holder. This is what I plan on buying when/if I ever go that route. http://www.mc-machine.com/87dash/87dash.htm
im getting this one for my 84 i think its a lot nicer looking

Ruger, you don't by any chance know what part numbers for your gauges are, do you? They're Pro-comp ultra lites right?

Good luck bro, I think youre just gonna have to wing it. I am running the MC kit with Pro Comp ultra lites. Fuel level is pretty accurate (given the scotch lock isn't acting up). The markings on the face of the gauge I havearen'tsymetric, so it helps a little. Youcan't see that in the pic, but here is what the MC plate looks like installed. Imay paint it black,not a big fan of the alluminum myself
