Wow! I have to get those. Very cool!

Would of been nice to show the installation from disc the battery to disc the speedomteter, gauges to installing the gauges.. and whole reverse operation.. I haven't worked on a 62 since late 70's. At least I got the steering off, steering col is being replaced at the same time... Trying to upgrade my impala--drivers side from steering wheel to the power steering pump-- the dokota gauge manual doesn't discuss a number of issues... Its 5AM --time to strip down cathy's Impala---Its her Mday present.

Was it hard to disassemble the dash to get the old one out ? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated .

[@mlopez707]

Not too hard, just take your time. The digital dash requires some time getting set up

[@johnnybravo2985]

Looks great boss! Was it hard to install?

[@1firmecarclub]

Hard no, time consuming yes. They have good customer support. You can call them and ask a bunch of questions before you buy

[@BayBoy-gj2lq]

What does that cost and can you drop website

[@johnnybravo2985]

What was the install like

[@1firmecarclub]

Not too bad. Just make sure you have all the sensors and know where they go. But when getting these gauges, I recommend getting new fuel tank sending unit if yours is old as you have to calibrate fuel at (empty, full)

[@joejoelowrider]

the one they make on a 59 impala I don't like it:( but love the 62

Did you look at the rtx style? I thought it looked good. Here’s a link

That looks terrible. Should have kept the original dash.
