I will take pics, and post them, and all materials used. If possible I will make 2 other models.

Nitrous board = arming switch and 2 gauges
Apexi board = Holds gauge and Apexi controller
Blank board = Just that Blank

Here's one idea!!



I'm not quite done. I will install some gauges and try to place my APEXi there, and an engine start button.

Also if anyone is interested in this piece, please let me know. I will build more of them in the future.
Hey travis don't sweet, I'm working on one for you.

If Travis still has the pictures of my setup he is welcome to upload them. We did NOT move the AC controls-but did fabricate a metal panel for the hole below. It contains 3 Autometer 2-5/8" gauges and a set of switches. I reinstalled the plastic surround like you did.

I believe I still have them. I'll see if I can get them up today.

*edit* Hmm, can't seem to find them. I'll bet they are in my old e-mail files in the old computer

when you say move the ac controls, are you saying just move them out of the dash or move them to a different location. if anyone has moved them to a different location I would like to see a pic.

Wow! Those are gong to be some really unnatural bends for the AC controls. With some time it should work fine though! Great idea throwing them in the glove box! I hope it all works fine... seems like a cool project!

Look no a/c Panel!!!
Well the cables believe it or not actually run slightly behind glove boc, so it should be an easy deal. The wire harness looks like it will reach the glove box with no problems. Give me a day or so, and I will post pics.

Looks like the same type of stuff that Honda used for the dash. look to the left, over by the steering wheel, looks like the exact same stuff.
looks a bit like plexi-glass too.
