Check this guage cluster out!!!!
I wanted to share the new guage cluster out for my 70 Formula pro-touring SEMA car.... The cool thing here is they made the guages look stock,,,,, but they are actually autometers behind those faces.... The whole effort was to build an acurrate cluster that would work in conjunction with the Super Charged LS conversion and have fuel and oil temp guages to monitor the mechanicals when really flogging on the car in the various events we intend to run the car at..... Anyways I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share in the excitment with you all......

That is nice - mounting them in the A/C openings I would assume?

Yeah I am SERIOUSLY rethinking my Covan panel with Speedhut gauge plan now that I know this is possible. The stock gauges are beautiful and the fact you have the look with the function of autometer is really cool.
This is probably one of my favorite Firebird builds to follow. Hell I might even go to SEMA this year to check it out in person...

Wow that would be sweet! Course after a ride in yours I'm thinking mine would seem woefully inadequate. Would be nice to know the potential of those trick parts!

Very nice, it's going to be one great Bird!
That fuel press & oil temp is just what I need... can they make more, contact info? I would need lower fuel press numbers/readings for a carbureted engine, that's nice stuff, I'm surprised nobody's making something like that for the catalog parts sellers.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
