Re: 2000 S10 Xtreme Drag Truck

One of the upgrades I am doing on the S10 is making a gauge and ignition panel. This will be removable so I can have easy access to the back side of the gauges. And I can see all of the gauges through the steering wheel.

That panel looks good. Having it removable will definitely pay dividends down the road.

My buddy turned all the guages in his 9.90 Vega so the needles all point vertical when the engine is running normally. That way any needle that isn't vertical draws his attention. It looks goofy when the engine isn't running but he prefers it.

That's a good idea and I may do that. Just a quick glance would tell if something were off.

Re: 2000 S10 Xtreme Drag Truck

Latest update on the S10. I slipped the gauge panel on to see how it looked and I think it turned out nice. Not ready to install it yet, need to make a few changes and wire everything up. Then I took time and made a new mounting panel for the MSD Digital 6 box and RPM Switch. I wanted to reduce the size of the panel because the old panel took up too much room and had too much area not being used.
