Thanks! The pillar mount looks cool, but I'm not sure whether it'll work on
an '01 (there's a handhold on the driver's side pillar. Is this the same on
other years?). They did have a nice rounded mount that would fit nicely
under the dash, though. Do any of the white faced instrument cluster
replacements have real pressure and temperature guages?
Hey! Just noticed your email address. That wouldn't happen be Rochester, NY,
