Wow that's one hell of a dash but a little bit more work and money than I want to put into one |

The Clarion marine headunit looks good in your car. What GPS are you running? |

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. |

Here is the dash in my baja.
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. _________________ REMEMBER- Build a good engine from the the ground up and you will not need to add on extra junk to cover the mistakes.-John Muir

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.

Here is my sandrail set up, gauge buckets from exhaust pipe sections,
electrical box from a deep socket box. All marine gauges are waterproof
in answer to your earlier question.
