Does anyone know if there is a piller pod made for the 65 mustangs? I'd like to get one that holds 3 gauges. Thanks in advance.

Actaully thet don't make them. But you can get a later pod and modify it. I started looking into it but other projects got in the way. I also read in Mustang Monthly, I think, where someone modded the later pod to fit in a 66.

Don't you think it would be annoying having gauges there? Especially at night?------------------

I think id like the gauges up there! I really hate having them right under my radio. I have been in cars with them on the piller and it did not bother me. But Also I only have 3,400miles on my Mustang in 2 years. So if it did bother me it would not be that often haha

I don't mean to put them down. I just imagine trying to focus on the dark road ahead with the lit gauges to my left. Maybe they wouldn't be as bad as I think.------------------

Yeah I 100% see what you mean about seeing it out of the corner of your eye. I guess thats something to think about seeings I was not driving the cars that had the pods....

I see a lot of cars at shows with the pillar pods in them....I'm gonna have to ask the owners if they a distracting or not. I kinda like the look myself....heck, I've even thought about them for my car but gave up the thought because there were none produced for 65's  !!!------------------

Hey Guys,The pillar pods are used by a lot of ricers here in the bay area. The thought is pretty cool but in my opinion, I think it can be eye candy to a lot of thieves. I've always liked the "sleeper" look on a car. Something that looks completely stock (no stickers, no excessive lighting, nothing the person in the other car can see). However, I do personally like the modified instrument panel/bezel that JME makes. (no, i'm not a representative) It's pretty steep in price but it would carry that classic look with modern day guages. Again, this is just my opinion... Regards, Erik
