TINMAN Jul 20th, 04, 9:54 PM After seeing TC'S custom dash, I started putting this together for my volt,oil, and water gauges. It's not completely finished but the concept is there. Do you like?? console (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/TINMAN/console.jpg) console2 (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/TINMAN/console2.jpg) console3 (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/TINMAN/console3.jpg) BlueSS454 Jul 20th, 04, 11:33 PM I like it. It's different and you can still check what your engine is doing at a glance. sinned Jul 21st, 04, 12:30 AM NICE !!!!! :D Bill Pritchard Jul 21st, 04, 9:35 AM Looks good to me! BowtieAaron Jul 21st, 04, 10:16 AM that looks nice, what did you use to get the angle for the guages? are those those auto meter guage holder thingys? or did u make it? aaron TC Jul 21st, 04, 12:50 PM I know where the Phantom clock's going !! graemlins/thumbsup.gif T.C. TINMAN Jul 21st, 04, 7:49 PM I bought the autometer angle cups but the angle wasn't good. I bought some 2" pvc pipe at home depot and cut the desired angle. I also had to shave the inside of the pvc pipe so the gauges(2 1/16") could slide in. TC-I was orignally going to put the 3 gauges where the radio is(mine is in the glovebox) and I was going to put the clock in the console, but the gauges were too big without cutting dash. ratuned Jul 21st, 04, 8:41 PM some of the custom boat places sell angled bezels in aluminum. might be worth a check mike Importtech Jul 21st, 04, 9:38 PM Originally posted by TINMAN: I bought the autometer angle cups but the angle wasn't good.Are you referring to the guage pods for the A-pillar from autometer. Reason I'm asking is I'm expecting my phantom guages and AM apillar pod setup tomorrow from summit. Anybody have this or seen this setup for our 'velles? I hope it looks decent. I've never really liked my guages around the ashtray. I considered trying to put my tach where the clock would be on my 68 since it did not have one originally but was learing of butchering the cluster and having it look funky.. BowtieAaron Jul 21st, 04, 10:18 PM yes i seen a velle at super chebby w/ the a-pillar guages, and it looked nice. it was the 2 guage pod setup, and it was nice an clean, and wasnt ricey at all. Rat- you have a link to one of them boat places? aaron TINMAN Jul 21st, 04, 11:20 PM Importech-autometer sells individual angled pods(cups) similar to what I made. You should be good with what you want to do. | ||
