Default What gauge setup are you first gens using?

I removed my factory 160mph speedo and other gauge today and just realized what an extreme angle this dash is on. I self tapped a piece of sheetmetal up there that i cut to fit around the colum and all to try to get an idea of how to make it work but i'm just at a loss. I would pretty much have to construct a box to lay within the dash to hold my gauges at a visible angle. Are there any kits out there already made? I alread have my gauges, Auto meter, tach, shift light, oil pressure, water temp, there will be 2 A/F gauges and a matching speedometer as well at 4-5 toggle switches.

Well 5" autometer gauges fit right in the original housing.

Or you can buy a Covans unit.
