You have to use your imagination a bit with these pictures. I've mocked them up using cardboard and painters tape to see how they would look. I was going to paint the cardboard black so this is where you really have to imagine.

I was also going to put power to all of them but it just got too late tonight. I'll get a video for this tomorrow.

The gauges are Tach and Speedo, Oil pressure, Voltage, Fuel and Water temp. The center console will have the Nitrous Pressure and Tranny Temp. The three gauge pillar pod will hold the Fuel Pressure, Boost and Wideband gauges. Now all of them will have the same color.

When I get the template exactly the way I want it I'll make some extras to sell cheap.

I'm sure any set of gauges will work, but once you guys see these Nexus' light up, well, it's all over but the crying to the bank for the loan...

LOL!

Overdrive? Who puts the car in Overdrive when drag racing? (LOL!)

I'm pretty sure this car would not pass any visual inspection anymore so I'm not worrying about it. Besides, Iowa has no inspection so I can still license it for the street.

Thanks for asking though.

Ahhh... The AutoMeter Nexus gauge has an odometer built in. I haven't powered it up yet, but the docs that came with it said it will have between 1 and 5 miles on it during their testing. So I guess I now have the BLUEST and LOWEST mile Marauder!

:D

If it becomes an issue, I'll hang on to the original cluster so they can add them together.
