The dimensions shown below are for reference only and state the maximum outside dimensions of the installed panel to the closest rectangular measurements.
These dimensions below do not consider or allow for the irregular shape of some stock openings, the corner radii, thickness of the insert, hidden mounting lip, or other mounting requirements.
Therefore, we would recommend you make no modifications to your dash sheet-metal or your stock instrument panel opening until your Classic panel has been delivered. It should then be carefully compared to the exact shape, dimensions, corner radius and mounting requirements needed to fit your installation in a vehicle other than those models and years shown below.
Only make the cuts and modifications to your dashboard after you have determined exactly what will be necessary to properly install the panel into your own vehicle!

Classic was the only choice when we decided to produce our own gauge design
series. Their intense commitment to quality and innovative designs keep them
ahead of everyone else.
- Boyd Coddington
Having seen almost every instrument out there, I would recommend that anyone
wanting gauges to complement their own car check Classic Instruments. I chose
Classic to give my own street rod the right finishing touch.
- Tom Gale
Instruments are as important to us as any other part of the car and we only use
the best quality products available! Classic fits our requirements every time.
And, the choice of design options is a bonus for us and our customers.
- Barry Lobeck
No matter what design direction we take on a car, I insist on using Classic
Instruments. The hand made retro-fit `40 Ford gauge panel they built for the
Poteet `32 five window is the perfect complement to our vision for the car.

From our 200 MPH Vintage Air Studebaker to the over 200,000 miles we have put
on our old `39 Ford Sedan, the Classic Instruments have stood the test of
relentless use and some serious speed.
- Jack Chisenhall
Classic has always been the trend setter for street rod and custom car instruments.
We have been a Classic dealer since the `70s and know their passion for style,
quality and innovation is equal to our own.
- Ken "Posie" Fenical
Classic did an amazing job retrofitting the instrument cluster
for our `50 Woodie project. We chose Classic because of their reputation for quality, accuracy
and reliability.
- Rick Love
Classic Instruments offers me the flexibility and creative avenue to add
that complimenting custom touch in quality instrumentation to our complex rods and customs.
Their products and services are second to none.
