John,
I don't have a dash bezel but I am looking to fabricate a gauge pod setup on my dash also. I've been looking into making it with fiberglass and 2" pvc pipe. I'm planning on having 9 gauges and really didn't want to have them all over the place. Would love to compare notes with you as you get into it.

That is almost exactly what I had in mind too. I'm still deciding if I'm going to mold it onto the bezel or make something that attaches to the main dash and comes over the bezel. I in the middle of doing a ball joint / axles seal job so that is going to be the next project to work on. Don't have all the gauges yet want someplace to put them when I have them that's right in front of me so it they alert, i don't miss anything.

i had plained to mold mine to it and cut out the back bottom of the holes so the gauges will set back in it, and it would hide the wires. but first i have to buy some gauges. good luck on the ball joints i just did mine last week.

so work has come to a stop until the new parts (and seal install tool) show up. Now that I know how to correctly do the u-joints, i won't break anymore
