A box full of Autometer gauges came in from Summit the same day the O.D. did...

I will be building these into the dash center-stack. I have a '98 dash that is a lot more "curvey" then the '88 was. I will strip the pad off it and recover it in carbon fiber.
Spent time modeling up the dash pad and gauges tonight. This is just a quick and dirty but you can see what I am going for. Everything will be covered with carbon fiber. I changed the color of the gauge pod so you can see it.

The lower set of gauges will be built in under the HVAC controls

The alternator brackets are getting laser cut shortly. I sent the files to my buddy in the fab shop yesterday. KOOL!Last edited by astroracer; 03-30-2012 at 08:18 PM.
