    Custom Dash Opinions Wanted

    I planning to do some dash upgrades soon. I have my options narrowed down to these three. I'll be using the stock 62 dash bezel. I already have the carbon fiber insert for the combo speedo/tachometer plus four smaller gauges.

    The dash will be painted Ford Sandshell Beige to match the body color. The interior upholstery is already two tone beige and burgundy.

    What do you think of these options?

    Hey Pat,

    With your interior I like the beige with burgundy text. You should post a shot of your interior for those not familiar with it.

    Likin the beige with Burgundy as well. The white looks to hospitaly, while the beige looks more antiquey.. Pardon my spelling...

    Is that a Buick or is that a Falcon?

    I third, the beige and burgandy gauges.

    The white wouldn't match anything in the car.
    The burgandy and white although cool would grow old.. too much red.
    The beige and burgandy as long as they don't clash with the colors you already have would be a great touch..

    Are you doing anything else in carbon fiber??

    My only concern for you Patrick (though I did vote the same as everyone else) is that they only go up to 120 MPH.

    I think you should weld up ALL of the holes on the dash and install a full on Heads Up Display out of a new BMW.

    Pop out cup holders..

    In dash navigation??

    Boost gauge, trans temp, or any other gauage molded into the radio spot?


    Nobody makes a clock anymore.. find a cool old in dash falcon clock..

    Hey patrick what did you ever deside about the gages? will they make the color you want...by the way what did you do with the carb you had on your car befor the EFI? ....jh

    I'm planning to go with the beige gauges. I'm not going to order them until I get back from a vacation. This will be sometime near the end of March.

    I still have the carb. It's on a shelf in the garage.

    Patrick what kind of carb is it, and what is the cfm? and is it for sale? the summit carb I got 3 years ago I just put it back on my falcon and it still has a flat spot in it, and the fuel boils in the bowl when I put it in the garage and really reeks with gas fumes...just great ah. it's quicker than the Q-jet but it's a real pain in the butt. thanks..jh
