I am stuck, I am trying to figure out where to mount my 2 1/16th inch guages, I have 3 of them and I need to mount them somewhere up front in my 61 without cutting up my dash, any suggestions? Photos of possible layouts?

Got anything in your radio hole?

If more power is better. Then too much is just enough.
Why do it once when you can do it thrice?

To install a guage in there would require cutting of the dash.

I put 3 Autometer 2 1/16\" gauges in the glovebox of my 62. My brother made me a fibreglass pod with the gauges angled towards the driver so I could install them into there. Here is a couple of pics:
They fit perfect and the glovebox still opens and closes..... nice and stealth too. He made a mold, if you would like one let me know.

I was thinking about making a new glove box door with sheet aluminum that would mount to the hinges, but I like that pod idea, well see what else I can figure out.
