OK, no biggy,

So who makes the gauge pod that you showed in the picture then? And do you know if they come in any other colours? Thanks for any info.

The dash-mount triple gauge pod is also made by AutoMeter, and as far as I know, it only comes in black.

However, any good interior dye (such as VHT) can be used to paint the gauge pod any color you'd like.

Purepower,

The inside of your car is as sweet as the outside, thats not fair... , just kidding, can I ask how you mounted your monster tach to the side there? Do you have any issues with it bouncing or shifting around? That is where mine is mounted also, but I am starting to have an issue with it "coming free" or moving around now.

1fine89,
Thanks for that info, I am always looking for ways to make my car look better & different. I will have to chek out Autometer. Thanks for the VHT tip also.

I used the bracket from auto meter. But I used Bolts with lock washer's to hold it to the side of the dash, so it stay's tight. The Car never Looked mint. I Made it that way. I'll try to get pic's. I will have to take pic's of OLD pic's LOL :laughhard

Purepower,

Did you take the dash off to get the lock washers on in behind the dash? Or are the lock washers on the outside of the dash? Thanks for the help,

I just poped out the Rear Defrost/hazard light switch. You pull on one side pop it out then get a small screw driver and there are 2 little tab's pop them out. Hard to explain But the switches come out as one unit.
