we might be able to work something out, I was wanting to make a flush light kit. I bought dltreezans kit and it seems very do able. I would almost be tempted to just make a good housing for the flash to pass lens area. put in a nice bulb and dont have the flip up motors.

Time definitly isn't something I have much of though, I would have to wait til I"m done my own car.

smonty i am in the same boat as you, v8 swaps a hard and trying to do it and finish up at school is even harder. i dont have much time for a whole lot for the next month but then i go to work for the summer.

i would love to get this project off the ground, i think everyone could benifit from a three gauge pod that sits low to the dash and is out of sight of the guy in the next car.

when i get some time i am going to try to make a better rough mold to work from.

It really dont think it would be that hard, I have never tried to f/g something onto plastic though, only one off complete units.

this is the dash board

that is a sweet dash! nice work man.

i would be looking at making a one piece replacement that will keep the lights and add the gauges.

after i make a better base to work from we should meet up and work something out.

ps. how is your swap going, i would love to see it.
