I am liking how this is turning out. Although you definitely need to take some higher resolution pictures! Those thumbnail sized pics are a bit hard to tell the details in.
I'm assuming the pods will be sized to hold 52mm/2" gauges?

Add me to the list of potential buyers! If this turns out as well as I think it will then I'll definitely be picking it up.

You made this look easy. Been toying around with the idea of making one. I'll have to start this after I finish painting Hozzmans headlight covers. Maybe I'll have time after this Nike job and Cars land jobs are finished.
