    I have not done this yet but my engine swap will require a rewire at the same time so I am thinking of cutting out the gauge portion of the dash and building a gauge panel like the m38. I cant see any reason it couldn't be angled out. Any comments or objections.

    Google it. Been done lots of times. You can make bezels for individual gauges that have an angle or you can make a "pod" that angles toward the driver. There are a few other options as well. Personally, I like making a pod that is removeable so you can get to the back of the gauges very easy.........
