New Custom Gauge Pods & Switch Panel

I couldn't find anything that I really liked in the aftermarket, so I decided to make my own gauge pods. The one to the left I made last year and might get redone to raise the gauge up a bit. Gauges are (from left to right) nitrous pressure, fuel pressure (low side), and a wideband A/F all from Glowshift. When I get the sensors all installed I will post a picture of them all lit up.

I also made a switch panel on the center console for the nitrous controls and line lock master switch. The silver doesn't match the center console trim, but I haven't decided if I am going to leave it, repaint it, or cover it.

Got everything hooked up and running. Not the greatest picture, but it gets the idea across...

Did you have to cut into the dash to mount the gauges? Im planning on making one using the shape of the speedo/tach surround (squared with beveled trim) so it looks factory, but im hesitant about having to cut the dash to have clearance for the gauges to mount...

I did cut holes in the dash trim and a small hole behind it to pass wires though, but not for gauge clearance. Glowshift gauges are fairly shallow so it wasn't necessary.

Thanks guys. If ever one of these days I can find time to make more I would. It took me all winter to get this far on these due to lack of time... lol.
