your car looks sick any more pics?

 

[venom]

Hes what I have. I am working on replacing the SS braided lines with blue and red fittings with black braided lines with black and silver fittings. Sorry about crappy pics but you have to have good light and a steady hand with this Iphone. Once I get engine bay complete Ill take some pics with a better camera.

Recently made an optima battery cover plate.

Neat. What are you building?

 

[venom]

Moved some gauges and added water temp gauge. Had to wire up blue leds to match Cobalt. Cobalt leds are bright and are better on the lower pods.

Those look good.

Holy Cowwwwwl, yes its big but wow it keeps my temp so low its crazy. Shift light is awesome and easy to mount.

I made a bracket out of and assortment of aluminum tubing and I used autometer pods. Ill post a pic of the back so you can see. Thanks guys.

Not my cup 'o tea. Never liked gauges outside the cabin. It's easy to go overboard on gauges if you're not replacing the stock cluster.

I don't like to do what everyone else does.

 

[Paul]

Nor do I. Over the years I've leaned away from the "look at me" factor of gauges visible from outside the car.

I really like the Venom lettering on the back bumper as well.
