Custom gauge pod project

That looks really good. Nice work! I think it's a little too glossy though. A little more matte would be perfect! Either way, nice craftsmanship.

yea i agree, i found what i am going to use now. Someone painted their blower with duplicolor engine bay low gloss paint and i think that will look awesome

I like the green grass, the gokarting pictures, and the century 21 sign.
Oh, the pod looks killer too.

im going to spray it with duplicolor low gloss engine enamel tomorrow. I think that is the exact color i am looking for. Will post up more pictures once its dried.

That gauge pod looks Great!!

I use the low gloss engine paint also. It works well on many different car projects.

Yea man looking back through the pictures it's a bit too glossy, and I think the low gloss will match the headliner a lot better and make the overall product look even better.

I honestly never thought this project would have turned out this good, that's why I bought another one off someone incase it didn't work out. But now I think I could really start selling these things

I keep repeating myself in this thread, but it's warranted. That thing looks awesome!

Nothing better than fabricating your own parts and having them come out better than you anticipated.

I still think you should call them "Porta Pods"

sounds like another business that distributes chemical toilets. :lol1:

Yeah, I'll be getting one. I like it even with the off color, so I'm sure I'll love it once the color is matched. Any idea what you'll be charging?

It's hard to tell right now, b/c each one is a custom piece and is induvidually made. It not like I can just whip up a mold and mass produce them. These take a good bit of hours.

Pm me and we can chat price.

 

[GOTSVT?]

I know what you mean!

:lol:

Great job man. You are an artist. If you decide do really start making them, I would like one.

 

[zporta]

For those of you who are interested in buying one of these please pm me and we can go over the details.

I will offer it in the option of two or three pods. Obviously with three pods you will lose the map lights and possibly the motion sensor for the alarm.

so i painted it with the flat paint and i must say it looks great.

here are a few shots. The one in the car was using the flash so thats why the colors look so much different. I will pull the car out of the garage later and try and get some natural light. right now its crappy out

 

[5spd07gt]

That turned out great man. I didn't know you had skillz

Update:
Gauges will be here Wednesday and will have a mock up picture so you guys can see the finished product. Then it will be time to drop the h and weld the bung in.

Now... Who wants one?
