Nordskog digital gauge panel. Speedo, rpm, oil pressure, water temp., voltages, fuel level, trip, and some other things of calculating your acceleration, etc.
Great product, very versatile.

Heres the one I made in my car. I cut up a stock cluster to hold the gauges in.


Here are the instructions I used.

That's awesome...i love how it still looks stockish until you look close at it. I love the stock layout of the '79-86 dashes and i love how they don't pop out of the dash like a lot of the aftermarket inserts for our years' are.

I made my own, I epoxied a sheet of carbon fiber over the existing one and cut new holes in it for the gauges & turn signals.

Not anything current, my car is buried in the garage, lol. Here are some after I put it in:

Trial fitting, didn't have any holes drilled for the smaller gauges yet. Made a piece for the pass. side too.

Console isn't in yet, but the cluster is wired up. I need to find some good a/c vents.
