For the interior, rather than go for a dash with electronic displays driven by the ECU, the plan is to keep the original dashboard and have the speedo driven by an aftermarket controller that gets its input from the VSS, controls the speed of a stepper motor which drives a traditional mechanical speedo cable.
Enter the Dakota Digital Electric Cable Drive Speedo Control Unit (ECD-100-1) purchased through Summit.
Controller unit mounted in the glovebox...

Calibrating button (switch). Still need to be mounted out of site, but this will do for calibrating...
ECD-100-1 manual.
The whole setup works a treat and is easy to calibrate... highly recommended!
