The digital dash is DONE!!!! Awesome!!
Here is is, all done.... I just have to calibrate the Speedo.. I have not buttoned it all up yet because I have a new dash pad coming.. The picture has a little bit of glare in the center gauge but, you get the idea.

Yea, this is not for everyone. I'm mixing new with old and I love the way this looks.

May not be for everybody; but it sure goes with your blue restomod theme. Good on 'ya!

Looks nice... I considered a digital, but a few years ago I had a Honda GoldWing with digital instrumentation and I found that it meant looking at the gauge, reading the number and interpreting it all in a split second, whereas analog instruments take just a glance and you know in a microsecond what it's reading, even out of the corner of your eye. i do like the light bar tach though
But your gauges are modern, attractive and eye catching, lol. I just love the old original look but we all have our opinions. Enjoy your new instruments.

I think that when i get to the point where i can start doing that kind of stuff im gonna get on of those adaptors so i can use the original gauge pod but put some white faced autometers in it[8D]

You get use to it.. I have had a C3, two C4's and a C5 corvette over the years. One of the C4's was a 1984 which had all digital gauges. It took a small amount of time to get use to it and be able to read it quickly. I guess it depends on the person if they can get use to it or not.
