Post subject:  Gauge pod

I made this pod out of wood fiberglass and vinyl...

1st made an oversized mold of my dash..... i actually
changed my mind on what i wanted to do

then decided on a shape...

then decided on a cover...

Finished product....

this was my first attempt at something like this and i
realize that my spacing is a bit off... but i'm alright with that

Thanks!

from left to right... boost, EGT, trans temp

they are from glowshift.com the grey 7 series...

i am having a problem with the vinyl styaing in place
so i might run a baseball type stitch along the seams
like on the steering wheel

the "glue" my brother suggested apparently never dries

two tiny hex bolts from my mercedes oil pan through the dash... i also ordered
a male and female plug from an company that looks stock.. so when i take my
dash apart i unplug it and it all comes off... all i need now is a quick disconnect
for the boost tube...
