If your name is Todd Perkins, this is how you retrofit a touchscreen, digital, gauge panel into a hyperactive, artistic, interpretation of a turn-of-the-20th-century, horseless carriage - a CAD/CNC, custom, housing.
The inspiration was a vintage Olds (I think) gauge panel I saw on eBay. Why buy and modify it when I can make it, right?
Actually, I doubt it would have worked, even if the overall dimensions were close enough, because I changed the shape to conceal the digital panel.
This is will mount to the steering column, with a bracket that extends up from it. There is also a lot of detail left to add in face panel, around the touchscreen. A momentary switch, and probably a couple idiot lights, go on either side of it, and I will add some organic curves, and recess the screen a bit. I want a removable, bubbled, old-TV-style, glass cover for the touchscreen.
