So over the winter to top off my regal build i will be installing a gbody grand prix dash. I was curious how many ppl have done this and like it? Also what are some affordable/budget gauges i could go with? I'm thinking, Tach, speedo, boost, oil press and Temp? I believe electrical gauges are the ones i want, correct?

http://gbodyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=19155 Adam was selling a VDO set up in a GP dash. Not sure if he still has it, but it's worth a look-see. I like the stock GP set up.

I think electric gauges are the easiest to install, though mechanical are probably more accurate. Adam used VDO's and they looked very cool.

I got a mint dash, center console, and steering column out of the junkyard about a year ago and still haven't swapped them into my el camino yet. I decided on black for the interior but still don't know how many gauges I want to use! But soon it will be getting swapped in......hopefully.

Had anyone done the swap into the Monte Carlo with the GP dash. I have seen the Mexico SS with the dash. Has anyone got any pics of their swaps into any Buick, Olds. or any others. :eek:
