I did this one to put a stereo in my 65 Buick Gran Sport. I got a regular under dash stereo holder and then made this gauge mount to cover it up with hinges at the bottom. I got three SW gauges at the wrecking yard and cut the fronts off.

I didn't want anyone to see the stereo being it was a convertible and to get in would be damn easy. I did this and ran it for years.

I don't have a photo of it installed so that's me holding it under the dash just for the photo. But that is where it was bolted for years. I still have that one, couldn't get rid of it, worked to well.
