I just ran across a picture that came from somewhere - and heaven on
knows, given the state of my computer files --- I've got stuff all over
---.... anyway, this picture id of some kind of VW van. it is a shot of
the dash from outside the vehicle with the door open. Right side of dash
loks Vanagonish. But the left side is anything but. It has a beautiful
instrument pod, about 5 large round instruments in a row, bigger than
our speedometers, right in front of the driver. All were white back
ground w/black letters/numbers. Boy would I love to have that setup!
Anybody have an idea what this may have been?

And that brings me to the subject: Has anyone ever attempted to build a
custom instrument pod. A really nice, space age, airliner-nice
instrument pod, for our beloved Vanagons?? I'm really curious. With all
that copper/plastic strip stuff we have so much trouble with, I wonder
if it could be done and everything still work?

Thoughts, anyone?
