...and yet another way to mount instruments - WARNING, Rated "G" for Ghetto!

I really blew my budget this time - the stupid hole saw was almost $4.00.

And for those of you who don't like my ghetto mods,
a bigin advance!

Interesting idea, but as stated above, not very friendly when trying to drive and check vitals.

Hats off on trying something new. Might be a great place for some not so vital gauges, like gas and volt guages

Wow, you got a keeper there! A girl who will take care of business, and can read gauges! Sweet!

That's what I call multi tasking!

that would be a good idea for maybe a boost controller or turbo timer...not sure about gauges though... Nice idea. Also nice to see innovation.

They are actually pretty easy to see by looking under your pit.......or REALLY visible by driving like I do with the door wide open! (pedestrians get really pissed though......)

You eat in your 7

the only thing that should be eaten in your 7 is "Crackers" (glancing at crotch) "aint that right Crackers?"

Well, when she IS taking care of business, if there is something wrong, you know it isn't polite to talk with your mouth full
