aftermarket guage locations

no, you don't, its like winter, all the time. covered in white stuff......:laugh:

I know that's what most of the country thinks. :laugh:

I took a vacation down to Florida and stopped in Miami and did some shopping. The guy at the store asked where we were from just making small talk, and we said Connecticut. He goes, "Wow, so this is a huge change for you." My girlfriend and I looked at each other like huh? We said, "No, when we left for our flight, it was the same temp and humidity as it is down here". It was mid-90's and humid.
 
people just aren't always the smartest haha


we had a family friend from AZ come stay in mi for a little while in the fall, he was cold and freezing wearing the biggest jacket he could find. Us, well we were in shorts, t-shirts, and grilling haha

ABS plastic pipes get plastic welded together and then welded to the bezel. Long hair fiberglass + short hair + regular bondo + finishing bondo + 3+ layers of wetsanded primer + 2 coats of semi-gloss + LOTS of time.

Below you can see a prototype/design exercise, it obviously evolved. This was Pre-ABS, the lack of plastic welding meant it was very brittle.

On a side note - I believe my nasal passages are permanently damaged from all the paint and fiberglass. I did most of those in the garage in winter.... with a cigar lit.
 
3 guage pillar pod and a 3 guage pod for the center console. I might move my boost guage to the change holder and get a egt guage ....

The center triple guage pod is rediculously awesome. If anyone has one for sale or can give me a price for fabrication...I am very open. I have a tablet PC (Fujitsu 5021) and OBD-II scanner (on the way) for logging purposes but need a few essentials (oil pressure, vac, voltage, (not real sure yet)) for easy quick look display.

Pudmonkies car he sold to www.fordcontour.org member elradio had similar fabricated center console triple cluster. PM me or better yet

email adamforsman AT gmail DOT com if you can do it...

Very much interested (I have no fab skills unless you can fab it with a 10 lb rock hammer or Bosch hammer drill)

look around for a post from striker2. it a guage pod that you can purchase for ~$30. It is metal and just about pops right in to the single din openning. I had to grind down one edge alittle because it was a tight fit.
