Throttle Position Gauge?

How could I make a throttle position gauge? An example of what I am thinking of can be seen here - http://members.optushome.com.au/ozfb...lie/inter.html - its the fourth pic down, the little light bar above the steering column.

Any ideas on how this could be done?

It's called kinesthetic sense of where your right foot is.

Damn, Willie. I thought I liked the doo-dads... I bet you don't even need a scanner anymore. That's the coolest part about his setup though, guys: you can't buy that stuff. I'm totally all over stuff you make yourself.
