Got bored, made a gauge panel, will install when it isn't so damn wet outside :rant:

Amen... but remember, Murphy's Law is not recursive. Washing your car to make it rain won't work.

:werd:
Looks pretty good though. I think if I was to do that, I'd put them right into the dash instead of having the pressboard or whatever holding it...just my .02 :)

[Sabz5150]

Yea, my dash REALLY needs some Armor-All. If it's sunny tomorrow...

I like the plate between the gauges and the dash, gives it less of a "smooth" appearance, adding to the custom it-wasnt-there-when-I-bought-it look :)

It's out of the car right now... rewiring everything right now. I have a 4 channel amp in the glovebox and a 2 channel under the passenger seat. Six channels takes a LOT of wire.

[meohmy01]

awsome.

I talked to my speed shop about getting some angles, hopefully they can locate a set for me :)

Just follow the Channel 6 tower, I live behind it :)

[Sabz5150]

Here's the piece-o-plumbing that will connect the interior fuel pressure gauge. The tee is so I can have both the Autometer and B&M gauges simultaneously :)

[Sabz5150]

Finished job. I rotated the gauges at a 45 degree angle and they're perfectly visible from the driver's side :)
