dash...
not quite done but should be all visable with a 350mm steering wheel, probably more work than you are looking for though...
fuel gauge going on the lower 1/2 of the RHS of the 2nd pic, the rest will be on a screen/in glovebox/under dash etc at this stage 
3rd pic is similar style, its SIDES car on here(hope ya dont mind me posting)

Nice  the gauges alone would have cost enough let alone all the time
you put in. with all of that working you'd know everything about your engine, do need all that information?

Is the dash considered structural? i.e. can you just cut bits out?

That's true, but I'm actually going the other way and minimalising what's there
I replacing nearly all my gauges with a digital cluster thats got speedo, tacho, fuel gauge, temp gauge, warning lights etc all in one unit
im sick of having old inaccurate analog fuel gauge and speedo, and no trip meter/accurate odometer is pissing me off too

Yah, no probs - all good dude.
There's actually a few that you can't see in that pic... 2 head temp gauges, the AFR box plus of course the TerraTrip on the Nav's side. Haven't
quite figured a place for the EGT gauge yet...

Heh heh - you don't - instead just have the important ones sitting on edge of sight line. For my case (race car) that's the Christmas Tree just
above wheel, the 4 temp gauges in the cluster to the left, and the big red oil pressure light that can light the whole cabin up.

Jeff , Yes it's at Dads , Mum thinks its too much of a bomb to be on the front lawn at her place so for now its in the car port at dads. Im not sure
if you have seen it before but it was at howies farm , the dark blue 72 superbug. Im bringing it back from the dead for a new life. Im currently
looking for a motor for it and am fixing the rust.

same colour as the car.
