I don't usually like to post about things I don't have done, but I think I've got this one on the ropes. I bought an extra stock gauge bezel...thanx Ryan_Hes...and added the two gauge pods and the spot up top for my turbo timer, obviously I added those things...LOL. I know it would have been easier to strt with an Autometer gauge bezel, but I wanted to see if I could do it myself.

It still need some minnor bondo work, in fact it's cureing as I type. Hopefully it's ready for a final sanding, primer and paint soon.

It's not going to be perfect, but I don't plan on entering booger into car shows anytime soon, LOL. Just thought I would share.

Alot of work, but its looking really tight man :thumbsup

i like that alot. i may have to copy your turbo timer idea sometime withtin the next couple weeks :) good work too, lets see some pics after you get that bitch painted up, installed and some gauges and timer in there!

Nice work man. I don't think I have seen that before so :thumbsup for creativity.

That looks awesome! I cant wait to see the pic when its painted. :thumbsup

Nicey, thanks for the idea.

I put my greddy profec b spec II ebc up top there and it blocks my turn signal arrows... Sometimes I end up driving a few blocks before I realise its still on :( but maybe yours won't hang that low... good job though, looks good

EDIT:

Great job! Fiber glass is alot of work. Actually you could have saved time by just buying a cluster with gauges in it and then add your TT to it. But if your learning not bad keep up the good work. PM for easy know how short cuts I learned from the guys at polk audio...it takes the work out of glassing.

Yeah...it'll block the high beam light...but I think I'll still be able to see the turn singnals...sorta, LOL. And I'll definetlly still be able to see my gadgetseller a/f gauge. I've got that like this picture.



Thanks for all the complements guys :)

What's a turn signal?? :shrug

Nice work on the gauge pod

You know, if you take a 1/16 drill bit and tap two holes to the right and left of your gauge face and glue 1 LED behind each hole then run the wiring back to their prospective turn signal sockets you could extend out your turn signals so you can see them, but the small hole with the light behind it won't really be seen. That's how I mount LED lights for alarm systems. Pin hole them and you never see them unless they are flashing.

Thanks, I didn't even think of that because I'm dumb.

the pods look sweet and i really like where the turbo timer spot is! i'm thinking about moving my turbo timer now }(

That's actually better than the autometer cluster because the autometer has only a couple inches of room between the face and the cluster lens... most of my gauges wouldn't fit in it without unbolting the bottom two screws and letting it hang there.
