Default need some input on dash

This is my 91 signature. Now its all painted and need some ideas for my dash. I do have a monster tach and need to get a monster speedo (instead of the 3" tach that is curently in).
I only have about 3/8" between the guages, how much bigger are bezeels? I need to add my depth gauge captains call and some other switches and would like a compass some where. Any ideas thoughts?

Is that a throttle & shifter? if so, Replace that first with a dual lever. Then maybe a color of your choice Carbon Fiber panels.

Yea it doesn't look like you have enough room for bezels on the smaller gauges. You could use bezels on the upper guages where you have the room and make a panel to go under all the smaller ones and have it powder coated the same color as the upper bezels. I made my own dash last season and I'm pretty happy how it turned out. The gold panel is on top of the original plastic panel. I used one flat piece of aluminum sheet 3/16" and had all the holes cut out on a cnc machine then had it painted to match the gold paint on the rear flame graphics.
