Out of all the cool stuff I could ask about I am most curious about the gauge pods on the center dash. Did you guys make those or are they prefab from somewhere? Sweet car btw!

The car will be at Thunder for sure.

The Gauge pods are custom.

Did a convertible just because I have always wanted a fast drop top. Plus i already owned the car so it was justa no brainer.
The silver SS is Nicks, he still has it for sale if your interested.

Thanks,
