Needs a little cleaning up, but it looks good there w/ the relocated instrument cluster.

I would need to see what it looks like with the steering wheel before I could comment.

do something with the turn signals and wiper setting dials, maybe relocate them? that would really clean it up around there
and i love the gauge set up, what color gauges are going in it? black would look sweet

I like it. I think it needs a chopped wheel to complete the look.

It gave me an idea. Nothing I'll be doing on mine, but a completely smoothed dash with a speedo and tach on the steering column, and all other gauges/warning lights near the radio could look pretty cool. Again, you couldn't do it with a stock wheel and have it look right.

That doesn't look bad with the wheel there, but I think it needs like a Batmobile type with the gauges there.

i'm definitely feelin it man. looks good. interesting choice of wheel too. i'm so use to seeing racing wheels. that's a nice change of pace. would love to see what you tie that in with though. i don't really see much else in the way of like chrome in your car. i hope you at least do chrome trim around the guages. either way, can't wait to see it done!

wow thanks on the comments, it makes you feel good when u work ur a$$ off and it shows that it pays for it!.



Orange Syn- hey man i use 2" pvc pipe. My 2 1/16" gauges fit right in, but sometimes you have to dremel them out just a little bit. And to get the shape that i wanted i used masking tape.... and then put fg matting on the tape, and fiberglassed it, and then put a coat of duraglass, then bondo to finish!
