mm honestly if was to do it again i would have removed the harness from the engine bay and ran the fuse panel inside the car and shortened the wires and used the oem fuse box and mounted on the firewall, but i said **** that..
everything on this car is in house, cluster, ****, shifter panel etc.

sorry for the delays, hope you get it up and running soon.
nice work on the shifter... but uh, battery in the dash? now that a new one! cool. pfffffffffff, might as well use a 9pound odyssey battery.

update. had the day off and decided to learn how to make ****. so me and rob made a gauge panel. needs lil more sanding and paint but i think it came out pretty good. very easy to make at that.
First get a hot glue gun and some GOOD glue. the normal white **** doesnt hold very well. get the black or this yellow **** we found at harbor freight. if you arnt spending almost 10 dolalrs for a pack its not the right ****.
Next goto M&D or some **** and get some pvc that fits your gauge pretty snug. long tubes helps because you can angle them and then tape them together to get the correct distance apart and what ever and then just cut them later.
Next glue them in place and start inside outside feeding your tack cloth. tack cloth goes for about 10 bux a yard but you barely need a square foot for this.
after you got it all held in place start laying on resin with a brush. go buy some binder clips for this part because its the only thing that will hold the tack cloth in place over the object since it has to be stretched really tight. also buy some cheap *** brushes for like a dollar from family dollar cause they are dead after the first coat. we also used some tight fitting rings to hold the cloth inside the pvc to give it the curve in look.
After the first coat dries, remove the binder clips and resin over the areas you missed because of them. apply a second coat for added thickness
