Custom Instrument Cluster- Need advice

I am fine with the dash, but wanted to either use sheet metal or have one custom made to mount the aftermarket gauges in. Also, currently being an automatic, I do not have a tach. I bought an aftermarket tach, but don't really want a separate gauge hanging from somewhere.
Has anyone done this? Have pics? Just trying to get ideas...
Thanks!

I'd love to ask you some questions sometime, maybe PM, over your 408 stroker. I am planning on doing the same thing this year, and am picking up a 1971 351w engine this weekend for it.
