Default custom gauge cluster

does anyone have pics of thier custom gauge clusters??

i'm thinknig of building one out of fiber glass and filling it with those cool autometer nexus gauges. if it's not large enough to fit them all (speedo, tach, and the 2 1/16" nexus equivalents of the stock gauges) AND keep the warning lights, i'm going to pull the bulbs that light up those warning lights and condense them into a small cluster of their own with tiny labels. anyway, i was just wondering if you guys had pictures of your custom works so i can get an idea of how well things wil fit etc.

also, how would you go about fitting a 2 1/16" gauge into an a/c vent that perfectly fits a 2 5/8" gague. any ideas would be greatly appreciated - thanx in advance.

I have almost a complete set of the nexus gauges. Two of the gauges have been on backorder for over a year. According to autometer, they have yet to actaully produce the two gauges I am waiting on. But eventually when they finally make them, I'll put something together. They were originally for my 67 firebird, but they will end up in my tahoe. I plan on putting them behind a flat smoked piece of lexan in a traditional placement order. The theme is basically on with the mid 90's lexus sc400. When the car is off you don't see anything but black, when the car is on, "where did all of those gauges come from". of course, this is if autometer actually produces the rest of the advertised lineup. But I have played with the gauges I do have, and they are damn cool.
