I just got done with an installation last night. Let me know what you guys think. PS no comments on the car being dirty and yes they aren't rotated quite right but it was late when I snapped these.

Old skool muscle car guage mount. It's almost like you're really worried about something happening to the engine.

I must say I borrowed the idea from one of the KC guys who sold his a while back. It was the only one I'd ever seen and it stuck on me as a pretty cool look. Hmm, 5 guages on the car so far, yea, I'm a little worried about keeping tabs on things.

Oh and Todd, at least I've got an engine to worry about (just kiddin man)

Nope that is the trick to the whole setup. I got them far enough towards the windshield I clear the hood and far enough back they clear the wipers. Let's just say there's only about 1/8 to 3/16" of room to clear everything.

Clearly someone that needs to get a clue. Thanks for making the post sour. Cool guy. Buckshot has about 25k into his S/C'd 3L setup so he MIGHT want to keep tabs on every parameter. Just a thought. Asshat.

No need to be completely cruel there Todd. For most people that don't know me or my car, it probably seems like rice. However, I'm running what I consider to be bare essentials that are going to tell me what the car is doing when I'm running full bore on the track.

Fuel pressure, Oil Temp, Oil pressure, Boost/Vaccuum, and Wideband O2. Of these 5 only the boost/vaccuum is one I'd consider deleting and all that would do is leave an empty hole in my gauge pod as both the outside gauges are mechanical so I don't want them inside. On the other hand if I had a true race car, I'd probably have a few other misc gauges in there and have them all mounted on a nice swirled aluminum panel inside the cabin.
