Ok so i bought a dual gauge pod with gauges from fellow TGO member StreetLethal. (thanks again!) And well my plan was to replace all my stock gauges since they dont read correct anyways. Well i didnt just want a dual gauge pod so i decided to make a custom 4 gauge pillar pod since they dont make them for t top cars. So i bought the autometer oil pressure,water temp and fuel gauge all 2 1/16" from streetlethal, then went on jegs and bought another dual gauge pod. Once i aquried everything, i got to work. I installed the first pod as far down as possible, and measured the pod. The pod is 11 inches long leaving me just enough room for the 2nd gauge pod with a little bit of modifying of coarse. I had to trim the top of the 2nd gauge pod so that it would curve to the top of the a pillar and be able to fit under the t top. I screwed them down to the a pillar then modifyed some more here and there. It looks great and you can see all the gauges perfect and the t tops still fit perfectly. I got alot of compliments from other racers at the track last night. Ive spent a total of $150 so far only because i had to buy a volt gauge to match since i didnt have one. I am using AutoMeter Designer Black ll Series. The gauges glow white with red needles but i am going to color the bulbs with a red sharpie. Heres some pics of how i have it set up now, am getting them all fiberglassed to the a pillar and wired up tommrow. I will have some more pics after it gets fiberglassed and before i paint it. Let me know what you all think!

More pics to come!

 

I like that look. I did something similar in my last truck. I'll look for the finished pics.

 

Ya i definelty adds a diffrent look to the whole car now. Alot of people were coming up to me at the track last night asking about them and what the final plan is.

 

Subscribed, I'm really anticipating the finished results.....

 

well i just dropped my car back off at my friends shop. it should be 99% done tommrow and ill either pick it up tommrow night or tuesday. Then all i will have to do it paint it and reinstall it all. Heres a few more pics.

As you can see there is still plenty of space between the top gauge and the T-Tops. The top gauge which in my case is the Oil Pressure, is eye level with me as im driving so i never have to take my eyes off the road.

Begining stage, with just a single dual pod in:

More pictures tommmrow! I also plan on doing another dual gauge pod but im going to fiberglass it to the side of my dash board next to the center heater vents by the map pocket. I plan on using a trans temp and exhaust temp gauge in that.

 

UPDATE:

well i went after work to pick up my car thinking it would be done right? WRONG! He only got around to fiberglassing the pods on the a pillar and starting the sanding and filling process. And I still need the water temp sensor which StreetLethal is sending to me tommrow morning (thanks buddy) . But anyways, he hasnt even started the wiring process so im going to have to find time to drop the car again and have him finish it all. He told me to let him get the pod done first then we will go from there. So heres some pics of the pod all fiberglassed up. Will update when more gets done... boy i cant wait!

Looks good so far, you cant even tell there was two seperate pods on there.

 

^ They look AWESOME! I have a single dual pod, and I'm contemplating glassing them now!
