Custom dash setups... I gotz q's
 
I see some folks have custom setups, any tips or suggestion on those setups?

SilverGhost Jun 15, 2004 05:00 PM

um, details?

my radio bezel has the vents removed and guages in there with a custom panel instead, that's about it for me.

Shean Freese did this for me. The speedo don't work because my tranny dosn't have the hook up. The gauges are all electronic. The tach and shift light are Auto Meter.

It is a piece of aluminum sheet metal cut to fit the opening. Drill holes to accomodate the gauges and use the hardware that comes with the gauges.

The switches are Moroso.

The gauge cluster consists of:

200 mph speedo (doesn't work yet and probably never will) :D
tach
shift light
temp
fuel pressure
oil pressure
volts
fuel level (you can't see the fuel level because the steering wheel hides it).

The Moroso switch panel consists of:

Momentary start switch
fuel pump
water pump
fans
2-step
spare not hooked up.

The big red button on the steering wheel is the line lock.

PS the steering wheel is hiding the shift light also. You can barely see it between the tack and speedometer

I'll look to see if I have some pics of it actually installed in the car.

nice XXX, had never thought of doing anything like that. looks like a good winter project

Pro Stock John Jun 15, 2004 07:10 PM

Yah I think I am going to do a setup like that as soon as I can find a stock cluster to use as a reference. I don't want to cut up my dash while the car is still waiting to make passes.

I actually built it using the plastic from my old console, some gauges, a dremel, and some handy dandy JB weld....
