The 8th Gauge Special Made it looks just like the other Small VDO Gauges but has 5 Idiot Lights in it  (oil,gen,turn sig,high beam,parking brake) 
Any chance of you throwing a picture of the special made gauge up here? I'd be curious to see it.
Heres a Picture of the 5 Idiot Light Gauge  Grin

Nice job on your cars, that nova looks sweet, I also have a 67, but mine is a wagon with a 383.  like the 58 dash, I used to like the one piece aluminum dash's with all the guages.

That is looking sweet Shubee. I really like how the dash came out. One of the cleaner dash layouts I have seen.

I Decided the Idiot Light Gauge I Made looked to New so I Fabed A New Face For it which included Silk Screening the emblems on the face Including a VDO logo  I think it came out Great.. What do you guys Think?  (the bottom picture was my first try but I thought the emblems looked to late model)   the New face as GEN,Oil,high beam,e brake,and siginals
