Reposted from my build thread, mostly because I expect with such a huge delay in posting, that nobody is watching it anymore:
Additionally, since I am out of money, it looks like I will be waiting on the next step, which, logically is pulling the engine out, cleaning/freshening, and getting the cab in epoxy primer to start the fine bodywork.
Logic need not apply when one's wife is ready to go ballistic over already escalating costs.
Financially, the nest way to proceed seems to be the gauge package.
Let me explain.
The Tunatruck, being an extremely low option order, was shipped with a gauge package like this:
It's SUPER ugly. And useless.
The high option gauge package looks like this:
Which is actually still pretty ugly.
My ideal is to stuff the three holes with one 4-in-1 combination gauge and a couple of big ones on each side. That turns out to be like a $700 option. More than the Accord. Not happening.
My next plan is to be creative. If I can scrounge up used up, beaten up aftermarket gauges secondhand, I am pretty certain that I can make faces for each and make them fill the spaces creatively. So, with that, I am asking for your outcast gauges. I'll even pay a tiny bit for them if you want. Essentially, I need a speedometer, a fuel gauge (for a Jeep), a tach, an oil pressure gauge, a water temperature gauge, a voltmeter, and a clock.
I'd rather old and beaten up than no-name new Chinese stuff on eBay.
Does anyone have anything interesting?
Also toying with the idea of an add-on tach, just because some of them look really cool added on:
Thoughts?
Pitfalls?
Any gauges laying around?
[/URL]heet the whole thing with lexan, drill appropriate holes for the gauges in the layout you want. 
Did you roll a car into something stationary?
