Default Dash gauge pod modification

Got a new dash pod and made a custom mount for my Sirius radio. The radio in the stang has built in Sirius but, I wanted to have one account and use it in both my cars, my office and my work shop. The Sirius radio can be removed and the hole reused for another gauge. I also ordered two gauges for it, Oil and Fuel pressure.

What's ya think?

very novel idea! Im assuming you already have boost and A/F? lol but thats a great place to mount, are you running the power through the dash, like the gauges?

Yup, boost and A/F I already have on my driver side window pillar. Yeah, I'm going to run the wires down through the back of the dash, just behind the dash pod. So, nothing can be seen.

Everything is all mounted and wired, still need to install the Oil temp, Oil pressure and water temp sensors. I also installed the 2Step, upper left hand corner of the dash pod. There is a switch with an LED that will shows what its active. When that LED is on, my line lock will also activate the 2step. During my burn out, I just keep that switch off. I have about 15 hours into this so far and I have about another 2 - 3 hours to finish it up. The boost gauge is not on because the engine is not running (and the ignition is not on) otherwise it would be blue as well.
