think you got enough gauges?

Forgive me if I missed an earlier thread, but is there a thread anywhere that specifies what you did with the gauge pods, what parts you used, etc?

I'm VERY interested in this...as part of my upcoming project, I'm going to need to do something creative with the gauges, and I like your setup (although I don't think I could use something identical to the A pillar setup since I'm planning to put in a spotlight)...

Thanks looks very good!

Thanks; missed it the first time around. I'll read it in greater detail later....looks like I need to have some fibreglass practice

Where did you get the gauges?

Very nice!!!

 

[trapper]

what would you charge to make them for us?

 

[alienturtle]

i actually have had a few people interested in them. I really dont know what i would charge and how i would do it. Each pod would be different and it takes me some time to get them from start to finish. Does anyone have a dash that is laying around that i can have? I would just need it for the base mold to i dont have to pull my pods off time after time. I am willing to hook you guys up if you guys are interested. Just understand that each pod will be its own.

 

[trapper]

Hey i have the same dash as you and as long as they look good and do there job ill be happy

Is there ever enough....nadda...NO success like Excess I say!

 

[riotwarrior]

I would suggest to pull the mould off the dash, then build a custom plug to make your pods off of that, imho.

The pods look good, real good. What guages are you using and what do they monitor?

It wouldn't be too difficult to actually flip and invert the moulds so your just laying glass into the pod not onto if you understand me.

It's all just glass and so easy and simple (read messy) to work with.

They really do look great. I am very jealous. You have tapped into my love for gauges and switches. Nice work!

I believe he is running Glow Shift gauges around the edges, and Autometers in the center if I'm not mistaken. Apologies if I'm incorrect.

That is awesome.

I see now why you were so interested in my toggle switches a while back - your switch panels do look very nice, and just like with my truck I feel bad for anyone who'd dare try to figure out what switch does what, lol

Your gauge pods, well they're simply beautiful! Also your choice of on-board air tank setup is very good, this is exactly what I'd do if I had the space - however my bed must stay free, hence why I only have a 5-gal tank and it's shoved between my rear fuel tank and the trailer hitch that is part of the rear bumper... How big is your tank, like 10-gal? Also which York compressor did you get, the long-stroke one I hope?

 

[1994IDI]

Would you clue me in on what some of your switches and toggles do?
