I want to, just no time man, but if you still have it in a few months I'm moving out to PA and buying a house, then I'll have plenty of room for it.

lil update

went to the rents house for a lil to mock up the gauge locations. just hot glued them in for now and tomorrow hopefully i'll start adding in abs. oh also, they might look like they are pointed outwards but they are straight forward and are level w/ each other. i hate my camera fone lol.

Cool. Keep track of how many hours this takes you. You may be able to make some good money off of this if you have the time...

I don't even want dual, I want single on the driver's side for the stock boost gauge. Get all the matching gauges together and throw a wideband in the stock a-pillar. That's all I need...

that's exactly my plan. im putting the stock boost with the cluster and throwing the wideband in the stock a pillar. im making a mold of both sides so that eventually i'll offer these pieces with both or one on either side.

mkulrey--i in fact love the one you made for me-- i get compliments on it all the time! I even referred you to my friend in Salt Lake City glad you got the mold finished -- good job!!! It'll be nice to have a backup piece in case something ever happens to mine
