59 Impala Gauge pod mod

Found a old 59 impala that was toaste and loved the dash gauge pods, took it out and built a fiberglass version, the original is cast iron and heavy. Plus i dont have the heart to cut on it. Im making it part of my xBs dash, construction so far!!















sadly the old impala is under this mess, and now under water!

I love it...I am always impressed with custom jobs on cars. I don't have the "guts" or the know-how to pull of stuff like this.

Exactly!
I was the same way but wanted to build a system for my wife's car. Here's what I ended up with....

I noticed you're using bondo resin. You need to get over to http://www.uscomposites.com/ and check out the supplies. Usually the lowest prices of ANYONE. And the resin I get from them is great to work with, much better and cheaper than Bondo
