Homemade stock-like gauge pod...

[amaurer]

I like my truck looking like it came to me - I'm just fussy like that - so here is my solution for getting some extra gauges into the dashboard. I also don't like adding holes, nor did I want to lose or ruin my radio blanking plate... sooooo....

I'll let the pictures do the work...

I wish I had 1/4 of your MacGyver-ness. That looks pretty damn sweet. Can you mold a whole cruiser tub from your homemade mold?

 

[Cammo30]

Great work!!! Always good to see someone doing that little bit more to get what their after.

 

[RockDoc]

Ah, mold-making silicone. Just what every cruiserhead needs.

 

[SD_rdcruzer]

Fantastic.

What did you use to attach the new faceplate to the hinge, and did you reinforce it with anything?

 

[lostmarbles]

Amazing Drew!

If only I had my milling gear computer-controlled.

that is beyond fantastic.

very cool!

I'm working at a place that has a 4'x8' cnc machine. Other than new speaker covers and gauge cluster, I need to figure out what to make before I move on to a better job. Your project just gave me a couple of good ideas...

That is straight-up "James Bond" right there.

If you start production, let me know.

Wow. Would you be willing to make another, for a fee of course? I'm a willing customer.

I'm hoping to add some real guages as well and wanted to hide them where the radio used to be but have nothing near the skill to do something like that.

Really, really impressive.

 

[apeterson]

very very cool!!!!!

 

[Doug_S]

What kind of CNC is that? I have a MaxNC Model 15 and love it. Great for making small and medium sized parts.

 

[Beast II]

I think you need to offer that entire setup for sale. That is cool as hell.

 

[BJ44V]

I want one!! Damn nice job!

 

[TMACK]

That is "OVER THE TOP" impressive.
