GPS is a Lowrance 450C. So far I just use it as a speedo while I'm on the street. It's a great speedometer if you hit exit 3 times quickly the entire screen turns into a color dial speedo. I see you're in Cincy, do you ever get on www.woodsbuggy.com? A lot of semi-local guys on that site.

I plan on putting a cylinder head temp on the top left, oil temp top right, and oil pressure on the bottom. Looking for a place for the tachometer.

Thanks for the link. I will have to check it out. I am still building my buggy.

Here is a picture of my gauges on my fiberglass buggy. They are Auto Meter gauges. I bought them from egauges.com. They have great customer service.

in answer to your earlier question.
