Dashboard ideas 120-130 1967

Hi folks. I have a rather ambitious idea that I'd like some input on. I'm going to make a custom dash for my 130. My plan is to remove the ash tray, passenger chicken bar, relocate the HVA controls, and integrate a round (maybe GPS based) speedo and electrically operated tachometer. In addition, new fuel level gauge, oil pressure and temperature gauges,water temperature, ammeter,and , if there is room, tranny oil temp and differential temp. Obviously, a major rework of the existing layout.I'm a reasonably accomplished welder and fabricator, so integrating new sheetmetal isn't too much of an effort. I have 4 spare dashes in different degrees of disrepair, so a source is not an issue, but does anyone have any layout advice? Favorite gauge manufacturers, etc? Even a quasi period-correct theme would be of interest, perhaps. Thanks in advance!
