Re: Dash pad gauge pod???

There is a lot of room on the stock gauge panel, but not all of the room in the world. Right now I have two open spots and would like to get a setup that has what I don't have...vacuum and tach. At that point there is nothing open. Where would I fit 2 oxygen sensor gauges, a teams temp gauge, and possibly one or two more as my fancies change? You wold have to have combo gauges at that point. And I like my stock look. Like my stock bright headlight indicator and whatever idiot lights are floating around in there. And I like the fact that factory parts are available for it, and like that i don't need to hack the factory wiring which is still in great shape.

Seems like a place to mount another three gauges is right up my ally. I could leave everything factory alone for awhile and still get my immediate addons. I could probably get some decals made for aftermarket gauges to make the faves fir right in. I think the pad would then look pretty organic, which is a concern of mine. Who knows. But that's a pretty hefty price increase over a stick dash pad. If it were $200 it would be ordered by now.

The ash try location is screaming is screaming for a few mini gauges. Or put a digital hvac control where the ashtray goes and get a mount where they were from the factory..... ideas. Between the radio saga and gauges um tempted to cut the while center out and fab something that houses everything. There is a decent amount of real estate there.
