Bump. Anybody else have anything to add before I order?
Not trying to stop you from ordering, since all of these are just test pieces, but here's a few ideas I've been working on regarding this topic:
Keeping the factory "bend" is important to me, as the flat panels just don't look correct to me. They're not bad, but something seems off IMHO.
Quite a few friends have track-only cars with no AC/heat, so I threw a few 2 1/16" gauges where the stock control box is located. Did a row of switches down low, pretty much to see what it looked like.
There's also a center AC vent dual gauge pod I'm working on, but can't seem to find any pics yet. It's a lot like Dave's (mansonozz) custom piece I did long ago. Still trying to figure out a good way to allow airflow, though...
Someone mentioned the gauges on the dash top was their favorite location. I agree with this, and have a custom setup in my fox. Also the radio panel is a home-made one, for my double DIN setup:
Anyone who's decent with tools can bend up some metal to make a nice panel. I cheated a little, using a CNC machine and a plastic bender (everything shown is ABS plastic).
Lucky to have an ULTIMATE set of tools!
