diy dash wiring/guages

[steve ravet]

A friend of mine yanked the dash from his Monza and replaced it with a
piece of custom cut/bent stainless.  It runs all the way from side to
side, bends back at the top to meet the windshield.  He mocked it up
with cardboard, had holes cut for the gauges/radio, etc.  I wish I had a
picture to post, it really looks good.  I plan to copy it in my Monte
Carlo some day.  You can get a catalog for custom gauges from
www.westach.com, their stuff looks really nice.
