Pillar pods

[silverscottsk10]

Has anyone done these before?
I have a tach but I want volts too
Possibly be a four pod cluster to relocate the oil pressure and water temp also
Any one have a 4 before I tear into building one?

Did you ever get around to building one? Reason I ask is another square body site is really close to releasing a triple pillar pod for our trucks.

I have not
I haven't had the time between work and school
I will possibly start around Christmas time to get my 4 pod started

I will be using the trim piece as one unit
I don't like the bolt on type for cleanliness and seamlessness

I just checked those out. They look pretty sharp. I would like to see a four pod. If you get something going I would be interested.

I was going through LMC and I thought i saw a four gauge pillar set up. I could be wrong might be worth a look.

4 and 1/2 hours of sanding
Yes it's cardboard and bondo but it's gonna be used as a test fit before it's metal holders are put in, maybe, I like the cardboard cuz it holds them tight but I can still pull them out

By no means my best work
Bondo don't work great when cold
I plan on getting some more trim if I can find it and doing more and experimenting with fiberglass and maybe an all metal one?
It may be awhile so if anyone has an extra driverside trim piece they don't need I'll be grateful to have it

That was a no go, I angled them too far down at some point
Gonna pull them off and reset them

Drying again as I type this.... hopefully a better result

Still angled odd but I can live with it for now

Sanded and primed
once dry I'll add texture and test fit again
