You have to have a facebook to see those?

Just upload them to photobucket, and paste the image code here.

gauge pod. looks like he used a sem or 3m product to glue the pipes down. my opinion the correct way rather then using bondo to hold them like others ive seen. im starting a custom dash pod soon. should be awesome.

yeah i finally got a jump start on my dash pod this weekend. i got to finish custom making the parts for the gauges as they will all have hoods(interceptors plus direct sun=no good). im going to finish the modifying i need to do on the gauge pod since it will be easier to do it before i get everything glued to he dash.

Looks good. Here is a single one I made. Will probably add another one to the other side in the future.
