Howdy folks. I've got a 67 Chevelle and I have a beautiful set of Auto Meter Phantom series guages, I'd love to put them in the car, but I need to modify the dash.

I've never messed with anything like this and was wondering where you guys thing I should start?

I dont want to ruin the whole thing, but I want to have a nice face with my guages.

Heres something that may interest you

Thanks for the Reply, that is actually extremely close to what I want, I wouldn't mind a flat metal as the insert, and 4 of my guages are 3 3/4" and two are the smaller kind :-\

Hey Ken I just installed my autometers last week. It looks pretty trick. I bought the haneline dash insert for my 67. I had it custom made because I didn't want the fancy smancy turned metal look, and I didn't want a radio. I'm gonna snap some pics this evening and post.

I like the idea of the Haneline Guage cluster...but like I said I need 4 big guages and 2 small ones, and I dont like the diamond stamped one, I like an aluminum look or something I can easily upolster.

Wow, that is nice. I really like it a lot.

Did the $300 include the part above the dash ?

I really do like that, I wonder if he'd be able to make it for 4 big guages and two little ones.

Nope the top part didn't come with the stainless peices. He will make the plates how ever you want them. I told him the size of my gauges and he cut the holes. I also told him not to put a hole for the radio..... and voila here it is.

Do you mean that it came with both pieces? The guage cluster, and the part that goes across to above the glove box?

I emailed Covans Classics because they have panels for other cars. http://www.covansclassic.com

They are working aon a panel for the 66-67 Chevelles. Super Chevy and Chevy Hi-Po usually have ads showing what the panel look like

They are going to contact me when it avaiable

I recently disassembled an autometer gauge to find out how they are put together. The bevel is pressed on and holds the glass in place. After bending and removing the bevel and the glass the gauge needle is easily pulled off and the front of the gauge is removable with screws. It would be rather easy to use the internal parts of an autometer gauge along with custom graphics of you own design to make a gauge cluster the mounts flush to the panel with maybe a glass cover. Just a thought.
