It's pretty massive. Maybe a dual or triple gauge pod would be better.

Looks good man!

It's hard to see on the pictures but I would try to make the dial point more inwards, its at a wrong angle compared to the drivers head, also I'd make the shape a little more edgy, a little more 80'ies like the rest of the interiour

But all in all it looks pretty neatSmile

A dual would be even bigger... It looks big on pics, but its not that bad IRL. But its freakin´ hard to estimate how big its gonna be when youre making it...

But its made of a universal pod wich ive cut to pieces and then molded together with a base that i made in fiberglas. Then alot of fiberpudding, and sanding... Actually i have allready startet on another one, this time a dual. But the 86´a-pillar beam isnt that long, so its gonna be a tight fit.

Nice Knudsen. I still like more my placement of gauges in the dashboard.

ah always hard to see the important details on picturesSmile

As for the placement, I have to agree with knudsen on that one, I like my air blowers alotSmile

There is one unused space in the center console though, I'm thinking of putting an oil temp sensor there one of these days..

Mux, if you look closer on the pictures, i already have an watertemp gauge there... Its not a good place at all, cuz its very difficult to see what it reads. The angle is way off...

owhyeah, didn't notice that one at all.... hmmmm...

I can imagine the angle being very difficult, would be nice if they sell dials that are angledSmile
