    custom a pillar tweeter and oil pressure gauge pods

    so i had my tweeters just stuck in the a pillars that i just cut holes for..looked pretty amateur...so now with the new engine in i wanted a digital oil pressure gauge but couldnt find a place to put it so here i go again with the fiberglass and body filler....man i hate bodywork
    here are some pics after glass and filler work and sprayed with rocker texture


    and painted after sanding down the texture to match my dash





    and a few installed kinda dark sorry

    That's what I love about my pillar cluster. People always ask, "why do you have a boost gauge?"

    I usually respond with a coy smile.
