ok, not in the cubby hole by the shifter, not in the ashtray.

t/as are lucky, they can put the gauges in the ac vents

where else can i mount them? (i know about the pillar pod)

something little diff....

ac vent done by anyone?

 

You can buy a trim piece to put a gauge or 2 in your Vents. I'm not sure which sponsor sells it but I know they do. Theres a few pictures floating around.

 

and the guy that molded a single gauge/pod in his kicker panel

 

i saw that molded one, but i think its too low. not very user friendly. i want it easy to glance at..not look down then BOOM, crash into car in front of me...

 

i put my trans temp gauge in my ac vent looks pretty good i just fabbed up a piece of aluminum and stuck it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yeah? show me a pic, thats what i have in mind.

 

mine is a track car so the radio area was blocked off and i have 5 gauges in the old radio hole

 

Its not in a Camaro but would fit. Fabbed this up a while back. Mounts with a stock radio mounts screw and a dash pad screw just inside the glove box door. Still gives plenty of clearance for the cup holder and air bag deployment.

 

Here's what I did for a customer... click for larger pic.

 

MeanGreen: i think thats something what i want. but paint the alum black.

 

Well, since the roof is about the only place you did NOT name ...

Try this, get a Mustang pod:



and mount it on your dash (on top of the center air vents basically). With a little trimming it will sit flush. I've seen it on here before but can't find the pic now...

Or use this Mustang one:



and make it fit your steering wheel (might be easier to just use an a-pillar pod on there though).

 

yeah i think mean greens would look really good, especially in black. subscribing

 

Thanks guys for the comments on the vent pod. I didn't even know people have done this when I did this. That was over 2 years ago. It's after I did it that I searched on here and saw that many were talking about it. The customer already had three gauges on a pod, and Camaros aren't blessed with the T/A style dash center vents, so this was the next logical place. All it is is a sheet of aluminum bent on both sides and it clips onto the vent tabs. Took some time to get it shaped and cleaned up ('cos I didn't have a sheet metal break at my disposal so it's all hammering and sanding, but I think it was worth it. I was also lucky that the it wasn't a larger dia. gauge housing. A larger dia. housing wouldn't have let us do this 'cos it wouldn't leave enough room above and below the vent to make the pod one single piece and I didn't want to modify the vent housing just in case he wanted to return it to stock. So take note when ordering your gages and use a smaller gage that's not as important as the others you'll have at eye level. Here's a couple more I've played around with ...

In a C5 drag car...


3rd gen Camaro...

 

love the corvette setup

 

I started working on something last February and worked on and off for a while.
It has come a long way but still has some imperfections, as you will see in the pics.

Here's what I've been working on:
(I tried to angle the light to emphasize what needs to be fixed.)







This is only my second time working with fiberglass. I used online how-to's to help me out.
Input is greatly appreciated.

 

that would look great, i wish i had some tips to help. if someone sold something like that i would be all over it

 

Holy hell that looks absolutely incredible

 

you snuffles can i see a pic from behind?

how did you move the vent to the middle??

 

Thank you, sir.

Sure. Once I take one.

It took tons of fiberglass work to move it to the mid.
There's a lot of hours into this piece.
I've completely redone it 3 times.

 

It doesn't even look like you used fiberglass. Looks stock
