BigAlVB · 06-30-2003, 02:08 PM

bump.

Anyone else? I think were up to 26 or 27... That close! Sorry I've been gone a few days. Getting ready to take the Suburban into the sand dunes at Silver Lake State Park (Michigan) in a few days. I'll air the tires down to 8 lbs. and see what happens! I did get to pull a Ford out of the sand at the Holland State Park this past weekend--backwards even (I used my tow hooks). Wish l had my camera with me!

apstguy · 07-01-2003, 03:47 PM

Come on people! I want my pods!!!

boataddict26 · 07-01-2003, 08:54 PM

Im lost here, this is my first time looking at this post, where do the pods go? I may be interested.

method2mymadnes · 07-02-2003, 01:20 AM

I'll take one if its not too late!

BigAlVB · 07-02-2003, 06:55 AM

Yo boataddict26! The pods we're referring to mount on the driver's side A-pillar and allow you to mount gauges in them, you've probably seen this in numerous ricers and its very popular in F*&$ Super Duty's especially the diesels. Go back to the first post on page one of this thread for the details. Thus far no company makes these for our model year Chevy's, which is just plain ol' discrimination IMHO

Post here again if you are definitely interested in preordering!

boataddict26 · 07-02-2003, 02:19 PM

With shiping and all what should this set me back in price for the 3 pod set up?/2 pod set up?

1974StepSide · 07-03-2003, 01:02 AM

I'm in for a 3 pod gauge, but 2 is fine... in Black....

-- Moe

boataddict26 · 07-03-2003, 01:02 PM

I saw 40-60 per pod. Is that per pod? Like the 2 pod set up, would that be 80-120? I think I want one, could someone clear this up for me? Thanks

BigAlVB · 07-03-2003, 02:52 PM

Hello all, again! The price for the pods will run between $40-$60 for a 2 or 3 gauge pod. It looks like we'll be going with the 2 gauge pod due to popular demand throughout this thread. I believe they come in black but can very simply be painted to match whatever color you want, and there should be enough colors out there to satisfy pretty much everyone. These pods fit 2 1/16" gauges, look in a Summit catalog or what have you for a large selection of mechanical and electrical gauges.
Any more questions or to throw your name in on the preorder just post in this thread!
Happy 4th of July!

**By the price for pods I mean the complete pod, which would either be one that has two holes, or on that has three holes--but the two gauge pod seems to be wanted by the majority**

boataddict26 · 07-03-2003, 09:20 PM

Put me on the list!! I guess the 2 pod black is it, and that will be fine.

boataddict26 · 07-07-2003, 09:25 PM

Is this thing still going through? I need to know if I need to set some money aside.

Cole's 87 · 07-07-2003, 09:37 PM

I still want mine I wish we could get the ball rolling

If there is anything I can do to help you BigALVB just E-Mail me. Do we need a head count or do you have a solid number yet?

boataddict26 · 07-09-2003, 12:36 PM

TTT

BigAlVB · 07-09-2003, 02:23 PM

I believe we have 27--SO CLOSE! I'm at work so I'll get a definite count tonight or early tomorrow a.m. Thanks for keeping this alive guys!

chevychic · 07-09-2003, 06:45 PM

Count me in

That's 28 now right?

We just need 2 more.....

M1A1driver · 07-11-2003, 05:49 AM

I would like a 2-pod model, but I would like to know what size guage holes do they have?

BigAlVB · 07-13-2003, 07:29 AM

Hello all!
M1A1driver: Pods fit standard 2 1/16" gauges, electrical or mechanical.

I've done a couple of thorough recounts and I come up with 29 if M1A1driver is on board. One more and we're good to go! Below is the list of people who I've counted, if you want in let me know and if you want out--let me know ASAP!

EVERYONE: Please go to the website www.gaugepods.com to see the product and review the way the preorder will work. I'll have to send my A-pillar in and that will be used as the "sacrificial lamb" to craft our pods. All the money will have to come to me and then be sent onward to the manufacturer. So if someone backs out once the preorder has begun, I'll get screwed and have to make up the difference.
REMEMBER: WE NEED ONE MORE PERSON TO SIGN UP TO GET THE BALL ROLLING! No, I'm not yelling--just trying to get across the imporant info!

Cole's 87 · 07-13-2003, 03:14 PM

If one more order is all that is holding us up put me down for two pods and Ill sell the second one to someone later. I WANT MY PODS!!!

At the bottom of the products page it says comfirm a order for just 20 not 30 did someone tell you diffrent ??????? If its just 20 we are way over the amount needed.

BigAlVB · 07-13-2003, 04:17 PM

Cole's 87:
I am positive in the official e-mail they sent to me upon my initial inquiry that they stated we needed 30 preorders. I don't have that e-mail saved on my home computer but at work. I'll check it first thing in the morning and post a reply here. I will also need to get ahold of them regardless to continue along in the process. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. If, in fact, I am wrong, I'll let everyone here know since this has been holding us up!

rugger03 · 07-14-2003, 12:40 AM
