Thanks everyone!

2vettes--That pod setup looks awesome. I almost chose that same route with the leather cover but then i would feel obligated to do the entire entire as you did.

carl3989--That's a sweet location your gauge is mounted. I was afraid to cut into the dash. Have you had any issues with heat from the sun trying to lift the dash out from the gauge?

I bought a single gauge pod from Maryland speed which goes on the HUD switch panel. Its a nice location but the exterior attachment method isnt the best fit. Im looking to fiberglass a single pod similar to it.

I'm no expert but Les above is correct: that is beautiful. I've seen pics of some that look flimsy. Yours do not.

Im pretty sure i got whooped as a child for taking things apart and building things with those parts. I had to secretly build things in hiding.

I put the pod through a drop test during the primer stage (accidentally)...It survived, and after i finished cursing i painted it

Im not sure if by neighborhood you mean the US...?
