Gotta have the cup holders. Yesterday riding home ahead of the thunderstorm it was the cup holder that made me choose the teener...for better or worse,

I'm on hold with the console until I source an A/C evap set up so I started back on the dash.
First, I added 1.25" to the stock gauge panel mounting bracket. This moves the panel a bit down and closer. Then I designed up V1 of a new gauge panel. I moved the two outer gauges down and in.
This all but eliminates anything being blocked from view by the steering wheel.
This shows the view I now have. Better!

Moving things down and forward required a bit of trimming to clear the column.

V1 of this design includes trying out a new shape for the gauge panel. I'll reshape the mounting bracket to fit then make a removable cover/pod that hides things and provides some sun shading for the gauges.

Well, Mr. Funny Guy, the joke's on you! I got (what I think is) the final version after only three tries! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

What can I say, as always, I need to get the piece fitted, see what I think, tweak the details and fit, etc.
On this latest one, I was able to get measurements from the first version, update the CAD file and plasma cut the clearance profile for around the column, vs doing it manually, like I did on that first one. It's much tidier. I also moved the outer gauges in and down a bit more and changed the overall panel shape.
This shape should make it a bit easier to fab the pod cover. We shall see.

I bent up some 18 ga, then a little shrinking, fitting and TIGing. 1/2 way done on the frame support reshape.

It's turning out pretty well. Again, it'll all be covered up...

OK @bbrock , you got me. I went back and did a 4th version... this time in aluminum. I also tweaked the radii around the column cut out to tighten things up a bit.
Then I wrapped up reshaping the other side of the frame.
On to the pod topper.

Exciting news of the day:
Huffaker Engineering called and they expect to have my engine on the dyno in the next couple days! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
They'll provide video, if I can't make it over there to take one myself.

Just 3 more versions to go and I'll tell you what I think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Actually, you "fixed" the two things I would have changed from v1. Looks cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I replaced the sheet metal screws/clips with nutserts and @Andyrew approved fasteners.
