Will a 1965 Dart GT gauge cluster fit into a 66 Dart 270?
Only if you change the complete dash. wiring it is a bit different between the 2 also. 66 is a rectangle like thisWill a 1965 Dart GT gauge cluster fit into a 66 Dart 270?
Ok...thanks for the info, i guess I’m gonna have to make up something custom .. nobody makes anything aftermarket for the 66...Only if you change the complete dash. wiring it is a bit different between the 2 also. 66 is a rectangle like this View attachment 1715307336

Wow...if we could make that happen I would pay you for your time and materials...How would one go about getting the program?We have a 3 d printer but I would need the program (tool path) and the bezel is too long for many of the printer tables. It would have to be made in 2 pieces and glued together.
It would have to be written by someone that knows programming. I wish my youngest son, who actually owns a printer, would get off his butt and go to school for it. (dad talking there) LOLWow...if we could make that happen I would pay you for your time and materials...How would one go about getting the program?
Yep. And the board. It was a program from the internetDid he make those chess pieces with the printer?
I've got a 3d printer to prototype this stuff in (it's got to be split into parts to fit my bed) dang thing is long for the 3d printer!!!! I'm going to cut the first one out on my homebuilt CNC our of cutting board just to make final sizings for the gauges and fit to the radio bezel. just got done redoing the spoilboard and recutting the vacuum table pod setup on it. That way I can hold it down much better and get a better finish on the part.Wish I had a 3 D printer to make one...that looks like what I’m looking for!! I know a guy who will buy one off ya!!! Lol...
That looks really nice... what material did you make it out of?
I used ABS .I'm have the bezel being done with spectra chrome sprayThat looks really nice... what material did you make it out of?
Nicely done.
How can I get one of these?
Hey...Did you get this dash bezel done yet?Not yet but it's on my list. wayyyyy down my list but still on it. It is going to blend into the radio/heater bezel and does fit in the opening (just barely on the 2 larger gauges if ya push hard.) and used the standard aftermarket size gauges.
