Thread: Aftermarket instrument panels?

Tweet

Im looking to get all my gauges working on my 76 monza, and i could of course just buy the individual gauges from jegs or summit and replace them individually but i would like to just buy a whole instrument panel to go in the car and just basically replace a whole section of my dash with it. Im kinda hoping someone could tell me some companies that make aftermarket gauges and things like that because i really have no clue and google really hasnt turned much up either. I was hoping to find some electric gauges to put in it too kind of give it a little of a futuristic look inside the car. Any information will help ,

Thanks,

Slade

Well you already know that there are not a lot of 76 Monza custom alternatives out there. Sadly, this car really never got a lot of attention and it’s been “kicked-to-the-curb”. That said, I laud you for sticking with this one and wanting to make this your car!

Dakota Digital is a company that makes all kinds of neat stuff. I don’t think they make a 76 Monza instrument panel however; they do have some cool “universal” sets that may give you the futuristic look and certainly will make your dash look like it’s come into the 21st century. Go to their web site at: Automotive Products

Have a look around and let your mind wander – might be something there for you or if nothing else, give you a starting point for ideas. Nothing wrong with making a cardboard template and designing your own out of stainless, polished aluminum, walnut – or whatever you like! It’s your ride and hot rodding is supposed to bring out the creative side in us!

You’ll get lots of ideas here – post some pictures of what your dash/instrument panel looks like now and let you friends at CHR take a whack at some “possibilities”..

Ok im in school rite now but ill post a picture this afternoon

Have you checked out Dakota Digital? They now have analog-type gauges available, and they can build a custom panel to your specifications.

OOPS! I guess Glenn and I had the same idea.

Well - you know what they say Lynn - "Great minds think alike"....
