Custom gauge cluster for 66 dart

[hotrod swinger]

Has anybody done a custom gauge cluster for a 66 dart?

Not a 66 Dart but a 65. I’m using a 66 Barracuda dash since it had an oil pressure gauge and tach. Of course to do this the whole dash frame had to be swapped. I went one step further and had Dakota Digital convert the analog instruments to digital. It did require a custom underdash wiring to connect the cluster to the brain box

Not yet, but I have been having a lot of headaches with the stock cluster and have a few ideas. I'd be interested in seeing what others have come up with.

Work in progress, but you get the idea.

Did you replace the upper dash with flat sheet metal,or is it just covered?

Yep. I patched up the vent holes and welded up the mounting holes for the pad.
