Default Custom Work

For crying out loud, I am having no luck with the Search function today. Ok A while back I seen a thread were a guy made his own custom Gauge Cluster..He put aftermarket Spedo, Tach, Water Temp, Oil Pressure..ect..ect...I was wondering if someone could link me to that thread or post pictures if they have any. I am thinking about doing this to my car. Of course I would keep the stock cluster just in case I end up not liking it, or decide to sell the car (doubt it, im keeping her until the day I die if I can help it)

Roger that, I actually found it like 30sec ago...lol. Thanks though, My only problem is I cant seem to find a style of gauge I like. Because I want to add 2 5/8 Gauges to the AC Vents (I just like the way they look and fit better then 2 1/16's with adapters) And Autometer does not make very many styles with 2 5/8 gauges. I love my AM Es Series I wish they also came in 2 5/8. So anyone have any tips on other brands of gauges I could go with besides Autometer?

Many of the gauges work off of the ODBII system off the data stream so wiring these are a PITA sometimes.
