initially wanted to cut up my dash to fit the VDO series 1 gauges, now reconsidering. a bit heavy hearted to cut my virgin 66 dash. i like how these gauges look on Bill Schimmer's car though.

i have
3-3/8 series 1 tach
52mm CHT
52mm oil temp
52mm oil pressure
52mm petrol gauge (optional to fit in he car, i can use the stock gauge)
52mm voltmeter (optional to fit)
52mm ammeter (optional to fit)
52mm Autometer AFR gauge

dun think i can stuff all inside the glovebox

Rather than cutting the dash for the guages, we have autometer carbon oil pressure and oil temp guages in our glovebox! I like the look personally, but we used the original trim too, i think you can just see in the pic below! You can also just replace the lid in future if you wanted !

I've had this for years, in fact that's why I built my late model Cheesy

All of those in the glove box?! No way. Gauges were meant to be seen, not hidden.

Absolutely, not much point in having them if you can't see em!

I did it like this, the beauty is that I still have a glove box that I can use when I shut the lid and I also belive you can make room for 5 instruments this way. You do not even have to drill if you find a strong enough glue.
