Talked with my buddie doing the 69 Camaro digital dash and he said his is still in the concept stage. I asked him to send my a writeup on his idea and what progress he has made. I can tell you that he will NOT be playing GTA in his car. Star Trek Elite Forces maybe......but no GTA.
His car is damn near completely torn down and he is going to get the car back together more before he gets back to the digital dash. I had hoped he was further along on this project but understand why he is not.

I can fit 6 x 2 1/16" + 1 x 3 1/8".. so either the tach or the > speedo has to be a 2 1/16".
