Default 2nd Gen dash insert w/ Autometer gauges

Does anyone make a complete kit with Autometer gauges or maybe just the gauge panel for early 70's Camaro?

That is something we are trying to get around to.
We are trying to do a mounting bracket that works with our gauges and fits the stock housing.

If anyone has a dash we can borrow, I'd give a great deal on gauges to use the dash to make pattern.

We will be able to use any of our gauges, but the performance line is the best value:


A bit more, but the redlines are cool too

Mark, I really like your gauges. I especially like the full sweep gauges. PM sent.

Thanks guys for all the links. I can't decide on which ones I like the best. I'm glad there are choices, I remember back in the day when I had to fab my own gauge panel. This is much nicer and a cleaner installation too.

John Covan sold his old business which is now called Classic Dash IIRC
http://www.classicdash.com/shopping/...aro/1970-1978/

Then he opened up the new business which is this one.
http://www.covansthunderroad.com/pro...D2/11/sfID3/62

BTW He does offer the Carbon Fiber blank panel for $159.
It's just not on his site. Personally my vote is to get the blank panel and
get the Gauges you want separately and save the money and do it yourself.
That's what I did. Saved a fortune.

My gauge bezel is from the original Covan's Dash.

Man, that looks awesome. Did you use mech or elec gauges? Thanks for the pics and some ideas.

They are all Autometer Cobalt blu LED Electric full sweep gauges.

That broke dick Grant steering wheel is no longer in there.
I got a nice Mumo wannabe now. Tenzo R Turismo with the NRG release hub.

Default sec gen dash insert

I am sending them my complete gauge panel for them to mock up a new setup for the Second Gen Camaro. Hopefully we will all have something available to us other than what is currently out there.
