I don't know. I kind of like the stock one but there is something intriguing about that one.

i like it...but can't see what each of the four small guages actually are for...temp, oil, fuel, batt...? they could even be doubled- adding things like trans temp, oil temp, vacuum...where did you get this dash?

It's a photoshop production that was done in answer to a friend's "what if"!
I hope to make it. I'm really just wondering if there is a market? Craig has
the right idea: "adding things like trans temp, oil temp, vacuum..."
The stock cluster has 6 gauges in 4 nacelles. Now you can have 10 guages
in 6 nacelles!!

dude that thing would sell. I have seen more open radio holes than radios over the years. I made a delete to fill in my hole. But gauges look slicker.

Daddy ran whiskey in a big black dodge
bought it at an auction at the masons lodge,
Johnson County Sherriff painted on the side,
just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside,
well him and my uncle tore that engine down,
I still remember that rumblin' sound.....

Question! Where can i get a cluster bezel?
i have a 74, and it has the same bezel as is in the pic above(minus the edit, of course)
I want to get a new one to have while i mod mine!
i refuse to cut anything that i might need to have for a restoration to factory specs.
a 74-318-auto is only worth a crap if truly stock.
(its matching numbers)

I've seen plenty of bezels on ebay. Dirt cheap if they have radio cuts, relatively expensive otherwise. If you have a good one, my recommendation would be to buy a cut one and finish it out for your radio. That way you keep your good one un-cut and still get a radio slot. Speaking of which, if one were to make a custom bezel, why not make it with a modern radio slot that isn't bo-hiney ugly like cutting stock ends up? I had to spend hours upon hours fiberglassing and sanding to make mine look pretty good. If one were available that made modern radios actually look GOOD WITHOUT near-infinite sanding, I'd buy it!  |

Update:
My primer for this custom cluster focuses on the bezel alone. My first aim is to
develope a mold in a kit form that will allow a hacked up bezel to be remolded.
My first start has been a false start. I used Loctite's 60 minute epoxy to make
a mold of an unmolested radio area. Initial layers set up hard, but subsequent
layers were softer & softer. To a point, this is the opposite of what is needed.
On a positive note: grain reproduction was outstanding!
Once a stock radio bezel repair kit becomes available; a radio delete kit will be
in the works.
