Whatever ya do---don't get the Redline Livorsi's. Fred will cnfirm that they have problems over time. I replace all my redline's because they drifted in values they gave and fogged over regularily.
If you have VDO guages be aware that VDO uses an a$$-backwards fuel sender compared to VDO so that will need changed no matter what you go with.
Fred also is best guy to work with on a project like this.

Caveman your dash looks amazing what a differnce! Mr P is redoing ours now and after seeing yours I wish he would have done some graphics on the panel. We went with bright blue and white Livorsi gauges, swithes, and even a new steering wheel all bought from Fred at Trick. You just can't go wrong with Fred, he's one the best for us do it yourselfers
