i finally got all the wiring under the dash straightened out,and i managed to get my tri pilar mounted along with my water temp/boost,vac/and a/f gauges wired.

though i find out the tri pillar pod my friend gave me was for a t-top car,so i had to cut and modify that,i got it to fit perfectly

now i just have to get the stock tach out of the cluster,so i can mount my 5 inch tach that was on the pillar into the stock tachs location,and mount the shift light onto the pillar pod
and the final thing to do in the interior will be to get a new headliner,and make a fiberglass sub enclousure to replace the heavy has **** 3/4 mdf enclosure i have now

ill post up some pics in an hour or so

this one came with dbl sided 3m tape,didnt know it was for a t-top car till i tried to put it in,had to trim the top edge a bit,if the right one will replace the reg piece im gonna buy one,u cant tell that the pillar is over that piece unless u really look(used a heat gun to form it a lil better)

heh wait till u see the new system, u saw what i had back there for a sub enclosure when we were up at island(oh yeah got 2 new subs back there) ,picture the same style enclousure made of fiberglass,but 3 12's instead of 2,and after the last layer of fiberglass,i may lay down a layer of carbon fiber on the foward facing side and top.(that is if there enough laying around the shop if not enough for that im gonna do carbon fiber door panels since i know there deff enough to do that)
