Odd question but I am looking for any ideas for mounting the 3 gauges normally used in the center console of the appearance package models. I have a 73 2.0 that is nearing a full restoration and I’m not running carpets or back pad (show condition painted interior) for a more spartan look. I was originally interested in the carbon dimensions console but I don’t think they are in business any longer. Any cool ideas, pics or suggestions for mounting the 3 gauges would be welcome.

How about the early Deposit Box?
Sorry about the poor picture; I grabbed it off the internet. My car is all covered up.

All cool ideas, i especially like the idea of putting it the space of where the radio would go. Not sure if it would look too “busy” any pics of this out there?
