That looks good. It would be interesting to know what that cost.In my opinion, the only way to do it properly would be to send it to Redline Gauge Works. Anything else will just be hacking up a dash.
This isn't a Fuselage, but it shows their capabilities on a '66 Chrysler cluster. They added actual gauges in place of the warning lights and replaced the PRND indicator with a tachometer.

Looking at that top cluster, unless the car is a 4-speed or a console mounted automatic, how would you know what gear you're in? By feel?
I'll say it's from a console car. Not many 4 speed clusters around.I'm guessing that particular cluster is for a four speed. It has a tachometer cleverly fit where the selector quadrant originally was. I'm sure it would be easier and cheaper to retain the quadrant.
My paperclip for the prindle has been in the ashtray since I bought the car. It’s actually quite easy to know where you are by feel. On a side note I figured it would be a perfect time to drop it in there when I changed the steering wheel but by the time I found a wheel I decided to never do it. Not having the indicator does have its advantages, nobody wants to drive it because it’s too scary Lol!!! Perfecto...Looking at that top cluster, unless the car is a 4-speed or a console mounted automatic, how would you know what gear you're in? By feel?

My guess is a bit over $1000. If they used Speed Hut gauges for tach, temp, oil and voltmeter, that's over $500 just in gauges. Then the labour to modify the cluster to fit them, and design a new faceplate sticker. I presume they would have overhauled the speedometer and odometer mechanisms to like-new condition at the same time.That looks good. It would be interesting to know what that cost.
@bigmoparjeff : do you have front picture of your dash but not at night time ?
