Re: dashboards
I went off the lcd dash because I thought the layouts were fixed. I had another look tonight, how do you modifying the layouts.

Re: dashboards
Here is a picture of the layout I added. It is a work in progress. I added 2 new gauge types as well, the vertical bar graphs and the larger digits for the speedo. I haven't touched it for at least a year and a half except for mounting it in the dash.

Re: dashboards
The Arduino has several analog inputs and several digital in/outs that you could measure signals from an electrical sender like your fuel tank, oil press., temp or voltage and display a value or bar. You could use a reed switch and magnet to display speed or as an odometer and add a couple of buttons to cycle through the menu.
Here's a quick reference on how to use the LCD library to display information.
