    Hey guys I'm getting ready to start digging into the electrical portion of my 73 and since it looks like I am going to be replacing my fuse panel and doing some re wiring under the dash I'm curious as to what options I have for guages. I took a look at Dakota digital and I like the 71-73 mustang dash setup they have and it looks very similar to the guage setup in our cars already as far as layout goes. Has anybody done this swap yet? how close is the fitment or will it all be custom mounted? I did do a search but my wording may have been off so if I missed the thread I am sorry.

    Those look amazing! How was it installing them? Custom brackets or bolt straight in? Thank you for the pictures

    No need to thank me thank 71gold for posting it in the first place. I was just trying to steal his post count I know he would of answered your question. There are others that have done different digital set ups that are equally as nice or nicer
