the other gauge for the pillar pod is coming Tues

 

grab handle:

 

Looks real good.

 

LOL!!! I love the OH **** handle!! Looks real nice. Whats the other gauge gonna be??

 

The handle is a nice touch! My girl friend alwasys complains about not having one of those! he he. I'd be afraid she'd actually grab it though and tear the whole mes off.

 

that handle ain't goin nowhere, my 300 pound chinese friend can put all his wieght on it and it doesn't budge, i have it bolted down pretty good to the window frame.

thanks for the compliments....

Eric

oh yeah, the other guage will be air/fuel, hopefully i'll finally be able to tune the d*mn thing with it...

 

nice pics dude

i mouted my tach in the same place where did you run your wires threw i put mine right threw the top of the consle above the temp controls





:hail: :hail:

 

man that paint looks great. the gauges are cool color but the tac is a little to big for my taste

How exactly did you bolt those on without it showing up outside

 

i took two 2~ inch self tapping screws and drilled right inot the pillar. the gap between the back of the pillar cover and the actual pillar was big enough to prevent the screw from going all the way through. you can push the handle foward (towards the pillar) fairly easy but when you pull on it, it's rock solid, and thats what counts.

Eric

EDIT: i got lazy when i ran the tach wires, i just wrapped them up in electrical tape and ran them along the top of the center console and then up under the dash. It doesn't look as ghetto as it sounds, but i do plan on running it up through the vents eventually...

and in regards to the size of the tach, you either love it or hate it, personally, i love it

 

Gray faced gauges?? hmmmmmmmmmm........I like the looks of that. BACK TO THE PRINTER I GO!!!

PORK

 

actually there silver i'd post a close up pic of them, but i don't really wanna embarrass myself. i printed them out on decal vinyl and the ink never really dried good, it smudges really easy. That wasn't as big of a problem as the fact that when i put them on it was about 17.2 degress outside, and they didn't lay down very well. Im gonna make them again, this time out of sticker paper thats actually made to be printed on...

Eric

 

Your car looks good man, nice interior and cool gauges along with good paint...where's your engine shot?

 

lol, i think the best comment i could make about my engine bay right now is that it's all go and ZERO show. I just can't see the point in spending all the money on chrome and flashy crap. Don't get me wrong it looks nice, but for someone on a budget, it's lack of function makes it not worth it. Currently i have air duct running all over it, a homemade air cleaner box (works well, looks terrible) wires running everywhere and i still have the evap can for the AC on the heater box, but the rest of the system is gone...

Eric

 

Looks pretty tight, awesome ride bro, are those aftermarket gauges in the cluster there or macwein or whatever silver face gauges??

 

those are YOUR guages printed out on silver decal vinyl.

Thanks for everyones comments BTW, and don't be afraid to tell me anything you don't like!

Eric

 

Hey I have an Oh **** bar too (at request of friends)! Hah, great minds think alike!

 

Um what happened to ur front ground effect?

 

I CALL SHENANNIGANS!!! is it me, or does it look like his car doesnt have a left rear tire??....im gonna hafta pull the temporary, at least until this gets resolved. lol
:lala:

 

Hmm, I'm gonna hafta call ya on that one, just look closely, you can see a bit of grey right above the door that is surely the rim. Must just be the shadows that make it hard to see.

 

dang how'd you find out about the tire? The front rim is the only IROC rim i have also, if you look on the other side of the car, you'll see it's missing the fender, door, and the quarter is smashed

lol, in all seriousness though, there definately is a tire there, and the stupid front GFX are coming.... EVENTUALLY. Every time i get around to doing it, i think of something better to do....

Eric

 

Aren't I the ****! hehehe :sillylol:

Looks pretty damn good to me

 

That's a sharp looking ride!!! I love the color with the black accents. Your interior is awesome. Looks like your having alot of fun putting it all together and making it look as sweet as it is compared when you first started on it. Keep it up bro!!!

 

is that a gremlin in the background there?

 

whoa!!! thats definately NOT a gremlin in the back!! That's my 1970 Mustang Coupe thats hibernating for the winter.

Thanks for eveyones compliments so far, and in case anyone else was wondering what i started out with, heres a pic or two of the day i brought it home:

 

heres' the outside:

 

i think it looks like a gremlin....... gremlins are cool, i wouldnt be offened. a big bad green gremlin X w/ a 401 rocks.

 

i like the seat belts where did you get them and how did you install them in there???






:lala:

 

Your car never really liked that front gfx did it?

 

nope Seriously though, they are gonna get put on soon....
