Pillar pod, behind seat switches???? Those are the usuals.

I'd prefer to avoid a pillar pod if I can.

Ok..how about this. I had thought about getting a pod. Molding and scupting it to mount over your right knee to the lower dash. Then take a console cover and make it the same material as the dash. The idea would be an extension of the dash with a gauge. Should look good enough that people would question if it was factory or not.

Wow. That'* a good idea. Could extend it for 2 gauges. Ideally, I want a trans temp and a voltage gauge without having to have it sticking out in the open on a pillar pod. I don't want to advertise what this car is becoming. :P

So far...it'* only an idea. I haven't even scribbled it down or anything. If you went for two..you'd need to fill between the two pods..Hmmm ideas coming...

Ok..go for it..perfect it..and then I might copy it.

Heh. I'll take some measurements when I get baby back and we'll take it from there.

i have the PERFECT spot for em....

i just talked to Aaron, he dosent use the ash tray infront of the shifter....he buys 2 individual pillar pods, and then molds then and angel them to able to be seen.

Never done one of these cars (yet), but the one on my pick-up required cutting and splicing into the cooler line....I suppose everything is different.

Anyways, I'm thinking of using the space under the radio where my gain slider goes (now that it'* worthless with a system in it) and maybe molding 2-3 small gauges in there.

Patty boy gave me a good idea that I'm likely going to go with. I'm going to explore using the cigarette tray area for a trans and voltage gauge.

let me clarify this one

here is the where the trans temp sender goes in
