custom or aftermarket gauge cluster

Hey guys was thinking on changing my cluster out for something new. I am currently swapping out the motor and doing a twin turbo setup. I was wondering if someone could point me to one I can buy or some suggestions on how to make a nice custom cluster. I have a few ideas on how to make a custom one, just not sure it itll work out or if it would even look nice.
Thanks

I don't if you have seen these but I saw one in a car a friend of mine built for a customer.

Re: custom or aftermarket gauge cluster

That doesnt look bad, But i am trying to steer clear of digital. i would like to have 2 big gauges ( Speedo, and tach.) along with several small ones possibly about 6 if not more. Im thinking im going to have to Stop being lazy and fab up one myself.
