It's not a race car, plus I want them out of the way, I'm only adding the gauges cuz I need them

 

Wow that looks clean as ****. Good job with the body man.

 

update.

so the sc from ct is still on hold..... but is expected to ship wednesday. i did some work to the gauge pods mold i made a final pod but had a small slip-up as you can see with the arrow. tomorrow i plan on installing the gauges and mite make another pod
also here is a pic of what they look like powered up. (they change colors)


i can't get the arrow to appear but theres a small crease on the lowest gauge

 

May as well put the gauges in the glove box, they will be just as easy to read in there...

Also saying "it's not a race car" after adding:

*Jackson racing super charger not ordered
*440cc injectors not sure what brand
*Maybe stronger fuel pump
*glow shift gauges
*AEM stand alone ecu
*new wheels I'm thinking 18" but I really want to put 9.5 wide tires so we'll see how that goes
The gauges will be mounted with the map lights so I'll have make new map lights and I will loose the holder for sun glasses
Oh and tuners say on average my engine gets 300hp with about 9lbs

These are all things not in a race car.........

 

Ok I guess it would safe to say I'm not building a track car. I'm just building a heavy street wannabe race car! I first intended on running without gauges I know one with a low boost sc in a camaro without gauges and I've read on some forums people running without gauges cuz most of what they do is tell you what you already know but there's a lot of recamindation for oil press and fuel ratio the only time I hear of people actually looking at there gauges is when they first put them in, on a track, or when there is a problem.

 

another update this pic is from the drivers seat. from my view you can see that a little bit of the boost and air press are cut off

 

Functionality and practicality aside, I think it looks very good. You've done a great job with the housing fabrication. It looks professionally done.

 

This is my major problem with his work. It doesn't look professional or finished. Looks like bad curbside bodywork. The ideas are great! To use your daily driver to experiment is another thing, but to each is own I guess.

 

To each is own

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the title of this thread include the words, "what do you think?" Assuming it does, then you're likely to get both positive and negative feedback.

For my part I find the contraption adorning the last several pages of this thread to be nothing short of hideous. That said, I do understand that beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder; glad you enjoy your car.
