Wacky, what happened to the gauge/stereo panel for the inside you were trying to organize? Any word on that, I really want one.

you cant put mechanical fuel pressure guages inside the cabin without an isolator.

isolators are as much as the guage, the cup and the line. So **** that.

I just put it out there.


I have a garage, my school lots are camera watched. and the most they could do was rip it out of the body, they couldnt take it. They would need a wrench.


Anyways, I dont let unintelligent ******** constrict my automive creativity.

Yeah; no one I know carries around a little crescent wrench in their porcket... They're far too large and bulky.

Sounds more like you were just too cheap to do it properly; You do realize there have been cars that, from the factory, have gauges mounted exactly where yours is; and that some of those cars were built back in the 60's.

Once again your just cheap; not creative.

Well I think that's a bit harsh. I wasn't going to take it that far. To each his own.

Plenty of room to mount gauges inside the car. 3 on the "A" pillar, 4 in the center console, and mini shift-lite on the steering column.

Here's my current panel using two 2 5/8 auto meter water temp and oil pressure. I just want a different look.




Here's what I used to have but I installed it to my buddy's FB.
