Gauge pod crazy, DCW got hooked up on building pods... Options

[doGGy]

This is the 3 attemt to build the pods for the celica... Had this idea floating around long enouth till SnapshotGT came and kicked me Well - had to give it a try.. This is the center dash pod, exactly this one in pics is still a prototipe - and there are few minor issues with it - so the second one im building will have everything fixed. This one sits a bit too low, and gauges arent directed towards the driver as much as i wanted. The new one will have the Clock visibility issue fixed, and aimed more at the driver + gauges will sit a bit more higher. Looks will be the same. This one will be for 52mm gauges.

Here are few pics - let me know what you guys think about this.













Its sits flush on the dash, just what in these pics i didnt wanted to glue it totaly, so i used only one strip of the double side tape..

And dont ask about the Triple A-pillar what you can see in these pics - i will write about it later once i will finish with it totaly. this one what is visible in pics was made for a client (my ex celica owner) and i will see if it will be posible to get it in prduction.

Well, i have 10 pieces ready to be painted, just what im still trying to find the best paint to match the graines of the stock plastc pieces. Another thing what keeps me worried is what it sits on top of the dash and it is in direct sunlights, with makes it a bit soft after it warms up. I recently installed one into my Ex ST, and i have some pics, so if everything is ok - i will be posting them up tonight.

Another things what keeps me away from this projects is inormal heat over here, its 95F and huge humidity, so its practicly imposible to work during the day, so all i have is only evenings...

I will keep you guys posted.
