Thats a 97 dash? What'd you do to get rid of the clock....does it just come off and look clean underneath? I have a 98 so I wondered why no one ever just removed it....

sorry its a 98 dash everything else is 97

^^^I like the idea of putting guages there in place of the clock.

i'd take the clock out and run the wideband back there like the ngk wideband box so the numbers show where the clock was it would look sweet but don't know if it's possible lol :shrug:

Looks good

I like the way that looks. I supose since the back seat is so different, you can have the one out of the 88 matched to the front seats.
Is the engine also going to be Cobra?:beer:

that is a big project to take on but i bet there is only a handful of people that have done it. good luck man and keep the pics rolling.

yes it is possible. there are a couple of companies that make gauge pods to replace the clock pod. Late Model Restoration has them for 39.00. they also make a plate that goes into the dash underneath the radio that holds 3 gauges. I am putting both into my 95 rebuild.

Currently we plan to put the EGT and Boost in the clock pod and the A/F wideband (speedhut gauge and innovate LC1+ kit) oil temp and fuel pressure in the radio pod. but the configuration is very flexible
