Aftermarket gauge options.

I was thumbing through an old 80's hot rod mag and saw a B&M or Hurst (believe it was B&M megashifter) ad and saw a dual gauge pod that was curved to be mounted to the switch panel on the right. It hung off the side under the air vents, i believe it was textured like the dash and was flat faced (very clean factory looking)...Does anyone still make that? Anyone even know what I am talking about?? lol

There was a nice pair of legs in the passenger seat if that helps!

Unfortunately I cannot find the magazine! It must have been lost in a move a while back. I am trying to search it...Anyone else have any 80's early 90's car mags with a 3rd gen in an ad for a megashifter??

Re: Aftermarket gauge options.

Pretty neat... matches well! The pod in the ad is similar to that.
Being that we have 80's cars someone has to have an old issue of car craft, hotrod or something with it in there... Now that I have thought about it I remember the legs having shorts, the thigh high semi slitted ones. Camaro had the pre-90 type gauges...interior was red or orange maybe?? Had lots of drinks since then.

I have a whole bunch of 80s mags, I'll have to sift through mine if there's something in them. They do have the cool motorized headlamp louvers in them LOL
