The plan of attack was to use angle rings for the gauges so they would be easier to see.

I mounted the gauges in place of the radio. Not enough room for these.

I plan on fine tuning the hole to make it look a lot cleaner. The big issue is the radio mounting holes are counter sunk and it sets the gauge mount to deep. Going to have to brain storm for a couple days it just does not look right.
I also installed a new dual feed line set up today. Just have to get a 90 deg fitting for the regulator.

For the guages I would take a flat piece of aluminum and make it fit over your old radio area and take a hole saw for the size of your gauges and do it that way. Thats what I did in my amc spirit. Looks very clean.
 
What BigStrok3 said.

I won't lie…. The way it looks now is bad.

If you don't want or can't cut aluminum find some textured sheet plastic or something.
 
Not sure what the foot print is but I see it drinks Coke. LOL

Would like to see more picture of your car, I had a Red 69 GT 273 4spd.

Thanks
 
What The Hell Is That Thing Again!?!?!?!
 
I think it is a Road Runner print, probally 383 breed, the 440's have longer claws, Good Luck.
 
All thats left is some paint hopefully this will look a little better.
