center console remake

Ultra Gauge placement and other items. Like everything on this car that is not an important mechanical item, I use as many free used parts and found objects for materials as possible. See key for image.

1. voltage meter seen through small concave piece of a found sunglasses lens.
2. The actual voltage meter facing down and acting as green console light at night.
3. Bluetooth (dark round thing).
4. Green lighted switch for radio/bluetooth.
5. Injector kill switch (immediately left of #4).
6. Shifter knob made from found skateboard/rollerskate wheel.
7. Used iPhone 5s as bluetooth music player (mounted with found/salvage hardware.
8. Mounting plate is redwood siding I took off house 2 years ago, shaped, painted black.

Almost done.

Gauge currently showing 70.2 MPG.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
