Custom Gauge Pod
After not being able to find any gauge pod I liked for my nitrous pressure gauge I decided to do the next best thing... build one myself. For now it is painted with Plastidip, but it will probably end up wrapped in leather or something.

Looks good Matt! Next time I come up to put marks in the Amsoil lot I'll have to stop by and take a look. I haven't seen most of your latest work yet.

Looks good man, what material did you use to construct it?

It has a fiberglass base that was molded to the dash, 2" pvc, cloth & resin. I tried to keep everything as thin and light as I could and still make it strong.

looks go but I'm surprise you didn't save the effort and just get a pillar mount.

A lot of people don't like pillar gauges. I do, but mine is full already. I'd have to look at something like this to get my bottle pressure gauge mounted somewhere. I'm not willing to give up my AC vent either!

I decided that the pod needed something more, so I found some vinyl and wrapped it. I was able to find some that matched the dash texture pretty close. Looks more finished in my opinion...
