Looks nice, I have been trying to figure out what I want to do for gauges on my 69. I been thinking of trying to fit some aftermarket guages in the stock dash as well.

Did you have to hack up the stock dash much to get the 5" gauges to fit? I would just be concerned with hacking up the stock piece because it is worth so much.

i didnt have to cut it to bad but since the previous owner had cut it up to put in a cd player i guess it didnt matter.. but i didnt have to cut a whole lot..but regardless...how i had to attach the plates with the 5" gauges in it. i wouldnt be able to return it back to stock form anyway..

SatisTraction looks nice, are those 5" gauges or the 3-1/2" ones? And what did you have to do make them fit in the stock carrier?

Thanks
