ok here is what I am thinking... take a 56 dash add some digital gauges and a few mod’s, dash will house gauges, 2 speakers (the 2 big holes, one on each side) ... And where the glove box is will be stereo and switches... and on the out side of the dash at each corner will be the vents...

Image
Image
in this you can see how it lines up and where the 2 speakers will be... also the 56 dash stops at the luv vents and that is where the new vents will go, the dash will stick out a bit then recess in where the vents go, something like this
Image

here are some gauge ideas , what one do you guys like, need some help on which one to use.. these will go in the center of the dash (the big open area) where the radio was in the 56

I like number 4, easier to see... Dash looks cool.

I would have to agree with mytmouz, the dash is easy to read and looks good. But either way it will be cool.

Sorry but i dont rekon it will matter which one you use if its not infront of you youre going to have a hard time reading it.

If its in the centre i would go with analogue.

Or small digital infront of you for RPM and MPH and then the other guages seperate in the centre.
