I'm trying to make my mind up on what style gauges I want to go with. If you have pics of yours during the day and night, post them if you don't mind. Thanks

Here is what I put together on a budget. 2-5/8 cluster in a custom panel on the left. Autogage 3" tach mounted to the column. Neat little trick, I used a DPDT toggle switch to wire the temp gauge to a temp sender in the trans and one in the engine so I can use 1 gauge to get 2 temps. Save money and space.

Thanks Smo, I like what you did. Do you have a pic of them lit up? I'll have to check them out for sure.

I have Ultra-Lite IIs in a Covans Classic dash in the Nova. They have standard incandescent lighting, nothing special. But I put Gauge Hut Revolutions with a GPS speedo in a 66 GTO I restored - those are gorgeous, plus wiring is much easier.
