My latest project
Well I got tired of my redneck gauge mount in the truck that I had to do something about it. Nobody makes a gauge pod that hold 2 5/8" gauges so it would have to be a homemade custom remedy.
Before- 3 gauges bolts to the dash with a piece of "custom" cut angle
So i did some highly skilled and technical planning/drawings to layout what i wanted.
And here is what I have so far. It needs another very light skim coat of body filler to take care of some of the real small holes, a little more sanding that I couldn't see it needed until the primer was on there.

yes, it served its purpose tho. When i pulled the Banks ottomind and the gauges that ran off that box LONG ago I needed to get the new stuff in the truck asap...and this was the only logical way to do without spending 2 weeks doing fiberglass/bondo work.

So here it is all painted up, ended up about a 9/10 on the perfection scale, but im no body/paint guy. how do you like the magic stuff that stands up and defies gravity when you hang it on the wall...

will do, i have about 6-7 coats of paint on it, and i put it in the house instead of the garage so it can cure in 70* air. hopefully i can get it in the truck tonight without an issues!
