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.

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!
