That boost gauge is awesome. Did you just gut the clock and put the gauge in its placeGood idea, Daryl
The interior is basically stock with some subtle/inconspicuous modifications. I prefer a mostly-stock look, with a few "Oh, I would have never noticed that" changes.

And finally, a stealth head unit install. The Ford head unit is out of a '99 Contour SVT with the bulb and lens covers cannibalized from my OEM radio to retain teal lighting. (I did this when I installed the boost gauge so I could still have a clock in the car.) The Ford radio's antenna wire powers the switched lead on a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X689, so turning on the Ford radio fires up the Excelon. I also have a Bluetooth module wired to the Play/Pause, FF, and RW buttons on the Ford piece, so I can control my phone's media via those buttons.
The Kenwood feeds a Soundstream amp in the convertible top well. I had custom hoses made up so I could move the pump over to the passenger side, and yes, I did this before there were affordable "proper" sound-deadening options, so that's ice guard.

All the speakers are upgraded, and a 12" sub lives where the spare tire used to be. Everything is hidden, even the under-hood fuse holder.
Now you see it...

Thanks! I really like the stealth aspect of it.That boost gauge is awesome. Did you just gut the clock and put the gauge in its place?

I did. I sourced another OEM clock, removed the circuit board, glued the HR and MIN buttons in place, and installed THIS DAKOTA DIGITAL GAUGE in it. (I'm pretty sure it wasn't $160 back then.) I had to clearance the housing a little, but otherwise, it went in almost like it was made to be there.

I have door panels if you need some!Working on it
I have a spare clock for sale $25 shippedI’ve been wanting to do that with one of those cheap eBay 3 in 1 clock/thermometer/voltmeters for quite a while
Good idea, Daryl

No much going on in mine other than a seat upgrade.
Where did you get the white face gauges at? I like them they don’t look too ricey.Good idea, Daryl

Thanjs. I like them too. Unfortunately, I don't know what brand they are. The previous owner installed them.Where did you get the white face gauges at? I like them they don’t look too ricey.
I got mine from NVU. Check my site http://www.weendoggy.com/mustang/mustbody.htm and scroll to the bottom. I have details on install. Much easier to see.Where did you get the white face gauges at? I like them they don’t look too ricey.
