First you take this...
and this...
do some dremel-ing to line the two up, and hot-glue them together like this...
then you take some epoxy to hold'em together strong, a little bit of filler, a LOT of sanding, and voila!
I'll be priming/painting it within a few days, I'll take some final pics once the gauge goes in. I used to have a 3 pod a-pillar, but didn't like it, as well I had an a/f gauge and water temp, which weren't necessarily useful. This one will house my oil pressure gauge.

hope it doesnt distract you from lookin how fast your goin
lets see it painted
hey, i did that, but i just double stick taped a ring mount on, ill show you a pic soon much easier, i would say put some filler in the left side so its smooth, like the right side, looks cool though

I got rid of all the glue on the outside before I applied the bondo, sanded it all down so it should bond quite well.
not like its the outside of the car anyway, just a cheap little plastic piece, of it breaks or whatever, you can redo it pretty damn cheap
On the other hand....you have other fingers.
i had lots of toys when i was young.slinky,etc.but once i found my penis,that was all she wrote
that looks awsome, ive been working on the same exact thing this winter. moving much slower than you tho.
id say itll hold... its not exactly a part with a heavy load on it
7 months without a date and counting

Looks like an awfully famaliar setup. Just that mine isn't fiberglassed up to match.

meh, wouldnt be my first choice of placement. woulda used a lil glass also, but nice outcome nonetheless
i love mine because it only covers up areas i dont need to see and puts the most important gauges in the easiest spot to view.

ive got a pod like hypsy does
and a friend of mine actually mounted his pod to a screw under the cover and cut a slot in the cover and then out the pod back on its leg
which makes it sit lower than mine or hypsy's
looks like a good start
very cool
simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.
great minds discuss ideas
yea i got a pic of that somewhere eric.. i will post it when i find it

Cmunn, looks good. Maybe I should try to do that since I have the same parts sitting around
Eric, Do you have a picture of your friends gauge pod setup??
