A couple of recent projects

Been swamped with work so I've only been able to work on small stuff.

New cover for the CAS .... I'm not normally too big into dress up items, but I couldn't resist making it look a bit nicer under the hood. Plus it has the arrows for adjusting the timing on it, so I wont have to think about it every time.




Billet gauge holder for some 1.5" gauges I've had sitting around for a long time.






After powder coating and install. The gauges aren't actually hooked up. Right after I finished making this a friend hooked me up with some other gauges that I think I'll run instead, which means I'll probably sell the whole set up.




This is what it looks like from the drivers seat. I was actually surprised how big of a difference the slight angle makes towards visibility....although it's hard to tell because I fail at focusing my camera.

Do you have prints for that gauge holder you made right there? I got a friend that works at a cnc shop. I'd like to get one made.

No prints. I designed it in solidworks and cut it on a 3 axis cnc mill (I own a small cnc shop) so there was no need for prints.

No, although it used to get a bit hot before I replaced the shifter dust boot.

Thanks. I might actually do a small run of them. A bunch of the guys in my area are asking for them.
