Possible Gauge Pod Idea

[CarRacer]

That turned out great. Nice work.

could you do the but angle it towards the driver more.

When your steering wheel is in the up most right position it blocks the gauges doesn't it?

I'm 6'4" and I tend to sit completely upright so I dont really have any problem seeing any of the gauges. The angle on them isn't ideal but it gets the job done. I haven't actually driven the car yet, as it is down for a complete overhall, so I'll have to wait and see whether or not visability becomes an issue.

 

Lol, never seen separate Vacuum and Boost gauges set up like that; must be kinda funny to watch it switch over from one to the other. Very nice install though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

Nice work, I just hope Autometer doesn't take the idea and start making their own.

Looks awesome you should make some more. I know I would love to have one and probably others would too. i'd be willing to pay $50 or $75 for one.

Looks pretty damn good! I wish I knew how to do some fiberglassing /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

 

+1 on that!

 

Anyone making these for sale?

 

[CarRacer]

I picked up a spare bezel to give this a shot. I picked it up for 6 bucks so if I suck at it, it's no real loss.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

I never put the shading back in for the blinkers, but it could easily be done. Looks 100% OEM.

^^ That's where I have my wideband, best idea I've ever done!

Question to the OP, if I sent you my typhoon's surrounding bezel think you could do something like that to it? If so, PM with some prices /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Between going to both work and school full time, I don't really have time for that right now. It really isn't that hard to do, you can get all the supplies at Home Depot for about $20. If the dash trim bezel for the Typhoon is the same as other factory GMC trucks, just pick up a spare at a junk yard and experiment.
