Thanks Cyclone, this is a great option with preserving the original look. I have been looking at other aftermarket options but thought it was a shame to trash the original plate. I think I have my shopping list ready! Again this is great.

Take a look at summit racing.. It looks like they have better pricing than what you have listed. & free shipping over $100!
EDIT: I just noticed they have up to $150 rebate going now if you spend over $150

Great, thanks! I am thinking I do not have the right sending unit listed.... What should I be looking at for the stock tank? Thanks again!

you need the sender that works with their gauge. You also have the adapter needed.
EDIT: you have to match the gauge & sender. They have different resistance ratings. The gauge should be #1906

I want to re-post to make sure you caught my edit above...
The gauge must be #1906 to match that sender.

You obviously never bought gas for a 429!

I love modification tricks that make people question if it was OEM. That's the best cluster upgrade I've seen. Very nice work.

I just used a hole saw & clamped the panel to a block of wood.

Well you did a darn fine job! I can't wait to see what you come up with for the steering wheel.
