Quadruple 2 5/8 Guage Dash Pod

Well I've been workin on this pod on & off for 6 months.I couldn't find a guage pod like what I imagined and after posting on it I got good advice from GarbageMechanic and STurbo90. I took GB advice of make it yourself and followed STurbos lead on his pod he made out of fiberglass.I am by no means a fiberglass expert but luckily my dad (who use to do alot of fiberglass work on cars and planes)caught me making a mess and guided me in the right direction.I am a carpenter by trade so I started with 2 pieces of 2x6 stacked together.After several passes thru the table saw I got my bevel on the back side.Alot of finish sanding and rounding and I had a mold.Following STurbos steps I covered the mold with maskintape and started layin on the glass.This is where my dad stepped in and got me going right.After about 3 coats I removed my pod from the mold.On and off I worked on it finishing slowly.I figure I have about 8 hours in it.My time is limited after work and on weekends so I still haven't reconnected the pyro's.The pressure guage is for my on board air which is also still in the works.About 90% complete.To see the pod click on GUAGEPOD in my sig.I appreciate all responces good or bad.

Looks sweet! Its pretty bulky though on the dash.

It looks good! Sounds like you have alot of patience, unlike me! And you said 2 5/8's gauges? I'm curious what made you get that size when most anymore are 2 1/16, easier to see because they're bigger?

Keep up the good work,
Dave

I have some 2 5/8 oil and water temp gauges, and I will have to say that I really like those gauges. They look good, full sweep, and were cheap!

I like that there easy to read at a glance and also just like the way they look.I'm not getting any younger too so it won't be long before I'm squinting at the guages.
