fiberglass gauge pod pics

hi, i just have finish my third pillar gauge pod, i have allready post another one i made, so now i want to show you guys, my third creation :P :P

so here we go.

first i took the stock pillar cover out of the car.

and cover it with masking tape.

next comes the fiberglass fun...........

this is how it looks when i took the fiberglass piece off.

and this is how it looks after trim all the edges, here you can see the fg piece and the original piece.

the pods that i use,are from a generic pillar gauge pod, (i think it was made for a mazda miata). i put hotglue them temporarly to the pillar.

i use polyurethane foam to fill those empty spaces.

and the put some fiberglass layers.

so then comes  bondo time, and sanding, sanding a lot, here you can see the piece with bondo and half primed.

and finally i use pick up bed liner to get a stock interior look, and thats all :P

i will put some installed pics sonn.

bye.

well, it seems to be a problem with those pics, i cant see them full size.....

so here they are full sized.

now is attached with nothing, just a little bit of pressure :P but i think im going to mount it with some metal clips from the original pillar

so i have to figure that out yet.

sure, why not, this foam is great for this kind of works, you can buy this foam in blocks, that way is easier to work with it in a large scale like you want.

is not hard to mold it, a metal saw blade, or a knife, and sand paper is enough to shape the foam.

so go ahead an ty it.

good luck
