Whats wrong with blue ?? I'm kinda partial to it. That's a tease Father, what are you fabbing up for the dash. I got my box back, I put the gloves in it.

guess I could show you the before might make more sense

 

Nice gauges SSfan...remind me a lot of Gas Man's.

I have the RPD, but there's a part of me that wants to add the A-pillar boost gauge...just not sure if it is possible or cost-effective.

 

It should,He made the face, at black cat custom, they made the boost to match

 

It's possible, you just need the gauge and a way to mount it (modify your A-pillar, or buy the stock one).

 

Are they available through GM? Can they work in tandem with an RPD?

 

Sorry, I'm not on here 24/7 like I used to be . To the person asking how I mounted my gauges and if they block the gauge cluster: I used a combination of double-sided tape and epoxy to make a permanent install. Like has been mentioned the plastic column cover's an easy enough replacement if I get bored of the setup. They do block a small portion of the DIC but nothing ridiculous. Besides, the info that's blocked is duplicated in the gauges so no major worries on my part.

Yes, and yes. I bought a stock boost gauge from a board member, removed the A-pillar, and just plugged in the gauge.

 

Here's a recent pic of the current dash. I have another dash top I'm prepping for paint. My car came with an RPD, so I bought a glove box off ebay and smoothed, filled, and cut it up to accommodate the tray for the new mount for my Dashdaq and RPD. I lengthened the wires on the boost gauge and fabbed up a mount in the original A-pillar at eye level.



As you can see, I'm a fan of blue as well. I also have black and blue seats, but that's a different project.

 

Awesome work. If only I could pull that off...

 

looks great father, you need to talk to black cat custom for some faces that match. They make a nice product.

That A pillar gauge would be over my head Ha Ha
