I am working on a fiberglass gauge pod also for the overhead console. I should have more pics when I get it done, but for now it's the Woodward Dream Cruise (http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/)weekend and I will be putting some miles on it!

Awesome rig! I like the DIY approach to everything. I didn't think regular powder coating could withstand the heat of the turbine housing. I guess I was wrong

Could you elaborate on that tool you made? I dont quite see how it works and it looks very useful!

Nice project and great attention to detail. 70mm on a 5.3 with an 80e is fun all day long
