I haven't, but like Dakota Digital. I did install their cruise control though and like it a lot.

Dear Buick65gs, Jim, and mid-60s high tech fans,

Has anyone done any upgrades to a full digital dash. If so brand and pics please.

I love the idea also, but it is a difficult thing to pull off.  I took a quick look at what Dakota Digital has and there is certainly nothing "off the rack" that will work.

The 1965 display is very long and shallow since all it displays basically is the speedometer.  It isn't difficult to put digital displays into a space like that, but for the moment it seems you would have to lay out the display all by yourself.  That was more effort than I was able to take on at the time I had my dash taken apart.

Anyone else made more headway on this matter?
