Waiting for someone to notice that.  I plan to fix it and get another SLA.

That is looking really good! Seems like you are getting close to the final product.

No pricing has not been set.

The improved angle SLA should be here next week I hope.

I reviewed with them a few times over the holidays and told him how I wanted it to change and we took some datum points and mesurements and angular measurements to come up with a way to determine where all of them are pointed to the datum and horizontally spaced to get the best angle for those shorter or taller.  Can't make it fit all heights, so we are going with averages.

I received this Friday afternoon (January 10th)  Tried to manipulate it into perspective.

Im really excited to see the progress on the pillar pods. I finally have enough gauges to need a 3 gauge pillar pod so I figured Id come see if you were selling them yet :) Im glad to see you are getting close. I have an Air/Fuel and Vacuum gauge that need a home since our dashes instrument cluster only has 4 smaller gauge holes. Not quite sure what the 3rd gauge for the pod is going to be yet but Im sure something I want will pop up xD Thanks for keeping us updated Capt ;D
