Good work!

So if I sent you my pod and pillar would you do that for me? I don't really like the way it looks when it is just screwed on top of the stock pillar.

If so how much? :)

What car is this for again? Either way ill think about it and get back to you. You would have to mark it on the pillar where exactly you want it then id take care of the rest.. theres about $20ish in that pillar alone. The paint was like 9 of it!

ill get back to you tonite sometime/:thumb:

Ok, bringing a thread back from the dead. forcefed please let us know the materials used. I bought the pillar pod for my Daytona and want to mold it into the stock pillar plastic.

I have some fiberglass experience(mainly standing and watching :))

Tips and Tricks greatly appreciated to get this done :thumb:

i'm currently making my own a pillar gauge pod for 3 gauges! Should be ready this weekend, I'll post pics ;)

Andreas, what materials are you using?

@forcedfedmopar:
how did you get the vacuum line to the boost gauge? on my pod it's so tight inside at the end, that i'm thinking about adding some fiberglass just to have material to drill a hole for the vacuum line.

i bought a universal 3 pillar pod, cut out the 3 pods and modified the bottom to accept the stock a pillar plastic.
then used fiberglass mats + epoxi and glued them on the pillar. for the smooth finish i used fiberglass filler.

I'll upload some pictures of the current status, just have those right now
