Looks great man.....
I did this way for several reasons. I wanted something a little more off the beaten path. I think the Speedhut stuff is better looking and you can have them anyway you want them. The options are endless and they do custom work for $25/gauge. Also the DD stuff was going to be another $200 bucks for GPS speedometer conversion and speedhut was running a 15% off sale. So I got the speedhut stuff for less than the DD gauges with the added GPS speedo. I just couldn't resist.

That said I got the idea to put these behind the dash from FatfreeGTO and Old66Tiger.

I'm using Bob's {Old66Tiger} method with the 4" gauges and ABS plastic backing plate to install BEHIND the metal adapter plates as opposed to FatFreeGTO's method of installing 3 3/8" gauges IN the metal adapter plates.

Here is FatFreeGTO's thread link to his installed gauges:
