Gauges replament with autometer or VDO
Looking for the website or info on replacing my 68 Mustang gauges with autometer or VDo. Im not even going to bother with JME or Haneline way to expensive and they have a wait list a mile long. I saw a website awhile ago that showed, in detail, how to replace the gauges myself. Cant find it anymore. Any info would be a big help.

Cute car. I don't know any web sites but if you need some questions answered I can do that. I put Auto meters in my 67 and used a stock cluster. Not all that hard if you are handy.

Cute Car? You hurt my feelings. Heres some more pics. I hope you have a better adjective other than "cute". I built every inch of this car from the ground up(besides paint). Yes those are 428 cobra jet heads and a port o sonic with 750 demon. ETc ETC. You have the very dash replacement Im talking about. As you can see, the gauge stickers I have arent cutting it, I need the real deal.What size gauges? 2 1/16th or2 5/8th? Im assuming 5 in for the speedo and tach? What were the big headaches with wiring? Thanks for the help and enjoy the pics.

Check out www.iequus.com these gauges look like they could fit right in to your plans and seem reasonably priced.

Ok your car is a badass superwumpadine killer street machine. Is that better? The gauges I used were 5' and 2 1/16th. I understand the 2 5/8th will work but I was worried about getting them fit so I used the 2 1/16th.

Krazy did you shave your driprails? It's hard to tell from the pic, if so can you get a closeup?
Has Mustang Monthly ever done one?
