Got my A-pillar and gauges installed for now. I
didn't get time to paint it to match the interior, cause we were rushing
to beat the weather. It's a full replacement pillar. I took
an OEM pillar, and two auto-meter pillar pods and did some "body work".
The pods are fully molded into the pillar. Up top is an A/F ratio
gauge, middle is fuel pressure, and down low is boost. I chose 2
5/8" for the boost.

In the left side vent of the dash i mounted an oil pressure
gauge. Once i get the car back home, i'm pulling the pillar to paint
it, and installing the white face overlay for my dash, so it matches the
white faces on the Phantom gauges.

You can see the mods we made to the master cylinder for
the clutch. The pushrod was threaded and a rod end added so the travel
and engage point could be adjusted. Haven't set it in the final spot
yet, but i have no problems getting into first or reverse. And, i've
adjusted the grab point to about 3 inches off the floor.

I used -4 AN braided lines for the oil pressure and boost
gauges. The lines pass through the firewall using bulkhead unions.
These pass through just above the wiring harness on the driver's side next
to the brake booster.
