Shean Freese did this for me. The speedo don't work because my tranny dosn't have the hook up. The gauges are all electronic. The tach and shift light are Auto Meter.

It is a piece of aluminum sheet metal cut to fit the opening. Drill holes to accomodate the gauges and use the hardware that comes with the gauges.

The switches are Moroso.

The gauge cluster consists of:

200 mph speedo (doesn't work yet and probably never will)
tach
shift light
temp
fuel pressure
oil pressure
volts
fuel level (you can't see the fuel level because the steering wheel hides it).

The Moroso switch panel consists of:

Momentary start switch
fuel pump
water pump
fans
2-step
spare not hooked up.

The big red button on the steering wheel is the line lock.

PS the steering wheel is hiding the shift light also. You can barely see it between the tack and speedometer

Yah I think I am going to do a setup like that as soon as I can find a stock cluster to use as a reference. I don't want to cut up my dash while the car is still waiting to make passes.

The cars may be pump gas, but the entire TPR crew runs on alcohol.
