Default Dash instruments? Any ideas?

It is time to update the dash in my 69 GTO. It has three 3-3/8" round faces. I would really like to see a speedo, and two 4 gauge clusters. The ideal would be to use the serial data link and run can bus. I already have the factory hood tach and want to retain it. Has anyone done this yet?

Why use serial data? Keep it simple with standard gauges. My 72 Olds dash below.
Thhe other option would be an OBDII reader like ScanGauge you could build into the dash.

I would recommend Speedhut gauges. I bought a set for my 64 chevelle and modified the dash slightly and they look exactly like I wanted. They work great, and when my oil sender went out after one year they put a new sender in the mail to me when I called. This is my final product.
