Still in the market for something? I've been doing some work on this in the past week, actually! It's funny I found this thread on a quiet Sunday morning.

The dash-top setup is likely to make its way to production. I'm thinking of doing a double and a triple version. Any reason to do more than that?

Also working on the mold for an AC vent pod. I've never liked the "gauge cage" design, so I'm gonna do something different. Work on a few radio panels and some other stuff has also been going on. I decided it was time to do some fox body parts!

Here's a few pics of some of the prototypes so far. Let me know what you think:

NICEEEE!!!! yes i haven't bought anything yet. I was really leaning towards the under the radio deal but i've wanted one of your pods for the top of the dash like in the last pic FOREVER!

I like all the prototypes you've come up with, me personally i'm hugely interested in top dash pods. Preferably 2, but i'd still buy it if you offered 3 only. The pods and things you create are just SO different then anything out there, and I wanted my car to be Unique. I'll wait to hear from you as to what you come up with, but I'd buy one of the pods on top of the dash in a heartbeat!

on a n/a car I wouldn't worry about anything other than oil pressure and water temerature. If you can throw a small fuel pressure gauge under the hood. I've bought a-pillar pods two times and sold them both because everytime I pulled up beside a civic with the same thing I wanted to rip mine out

Looks like this will happen, although work has NOT started on the project yet. The three-pod setup shown is not designed for the fox, but used for photo purposes.

I've added some new equipment to my shop, so I'll be testing it out while making some of these parts. I make sure a dual dash-top is one of those test parts!

Haha, will do!

You do know you'll have to drill the dash for wiring and (maybe) mounting the part? Just checking, as you know this mod is permanent once performed.

Put them under the radio Justin. That pic you posted is awesome. Do oil pressure, since the stock gauges is a POS and always goes up and down, water temp and volts.

I'm definitely leaning towards one of Alan's pods. I've always always always wanted one of them! I still like the under the radio setup, but i think the pod from alan is so different in shape, design, and look.
