Well, you could either go with an F600 panel:

...or get a billet insert from Haneline and add your gauges to that:

It was an aftermarket air conditioning set-up by "Vintage Air". Had to gut the entire system and install theirs. Not sure I'd recomend it. I like how it came out and it works good but there's got to be an easier system to install.
