Latest Fiberglass Peice - Steering Column Gauge Pod
Well I want to have a semi sleeper look so I didn't want anything on the a pillar at all and I didn't want to have everything down low so I have to take my eyes off the road when I'm driving. So I got constructive and made this. I'm actually considering making another with 3 in it or two on the sides and make a spot for a wideband display in between them
Well here it is. Its a start. Thats Celery soup on the left and mushroom on the left.
Here it is after a few layers of glass and some bondo and sanding.
Here it is with a layer of paint on it. Thats a friends supra in the background. God damn does it handle twenty times better than my civic.
Here is the finished product. You can turn the wheel and it doesn't rub at all. I'm going to put my new oil pressure gauge in there too.
the other 2 5/8" gauge
Whats that in the background? Oh its my 6" JRC! woot. Does Tyrus ever know how to package something up. I couldn't believe it.
Wala. Questions are welcome.

Nice. If I were to do that, I would put the gauges a little farther out to the sides so you could at least see your tach/speedo. If you have an aftermaket tach there's no prob though.

You guys want to know whats hilarious? Those soup cans are exactly 2" 5/8". Perfect for pods.
Those pics are taken low. When I sit in the seat and look at the cluster I can see the speedo sitting right at 0 as well as the rpms from 0-8000rpm.. Its awesome. I'll update with some pics when install the gauges permanently in there.
