first off its supposed to be custom gauge pod. well i got tired of lookin at my gauges mounted close to the floor today and decided to move them. my car is a 73 and i removed all the a/c from my car so my vents are not much use to me. i decided to build a gauge pod out of my center dash vent. here is a couple pics after a couple hours work.
gotta cover it all with with glass and resin sand and paint and ill be mounting it and the gauges. ill post more pics as i progress.
Looks nice. I like the detail you are putting into it. I get tired of seing guages just mounted flat to a peice of metal (like my last car!)
I agree they look nice but not everyone is willing to sacrifice their AC to put gauges in that location, specifically. I perfer the flat panel and the AC - that's just me.
well i tossed the a/c quite a few years ago. wasnt interested in spendin money to fix it when id have the winows anyway. im actually gonna sell the a/c box and vents from under the dash if anyone is interested.
I took all that out yearrrs ago. Then I used the vent space for an equalizer and the end vents for tweets. All that is gone now and i'm still gonna put a small remote controlled window ac unit in the back
well i finally decided to finish this thing up. i think it turned out ok. gonna get the gauges in and mount it. not sure how yet since i cant use the screws. prolly some ultra black rtv.
