Handsome Dashing
Available for Fox Mustangs – 1979B1986 and 1986B1993 – and C2 Corvettes, these UV resistant ABS composite dash panels come in matt black,
brushed aluminium or carbon Aibre Ainishes, either as plain panels or ready-Ailled with a full complement of Auto Meter or Thunder Road gauges in a
choice of 15 styles. The Fox panels have two 3.375” (4.625” for the Corvette panel) and four 2.125” gauge apertures, and are a direct bolt-in swap for
the factory part with no cutting required. A complete wiring kit that plugs into the factory harness is also available, and it all comes with a detailed
24-page instruction booklet. See the revamped website at http://www.classicdash.comfor details.Nope, not a description of the Editor (by any
stretch of the imagination), but definitely fitting
for the latest offerings from Classic Dash.Handsome Dashing II
Since their introduction in 2012, GPS speedos have proven very popular
to rodders, whose love of swapping drivetrains, gearing and wheel
sizes has always resulted in speedometers with the accuracy of a
cannon full of bat poo. These new units feature Auto Meter's award-
winning hi-def backlighting for unsurpassed visibility, and require
nothing more in the wiring department than power and earth. The
conAigurable Rally-Nav display shows odometer, trip meter, GPS
coordinates, compass, peak speed recall, 0B60mph, 60B0mph, and
even an inclinometer. See http://www.autometer.comfor details.
While you're there, check out their LCD Competition race dash; a

vibration or shock you can throw at it. The seven-inch LCD panel
ensures easy visibility, and is fully conAigurable to your speciAication
with two CAN and two serial data bus channels, plus 12 analogue
inputs, data recording, the whole nine yards. There are enough other
features to Aill this page, and it only weighs 1.5lbs. Wow.More new faces for facias come from Auto Meter,
