68-70 B body interior A pillar covers with guage pods?

Does anyone offer these? I'm speaking of the molded plastic interior parts that run from the side of the dash to the roof. I'm looking for a better place to mount an air/fuel guage and I'd like to consider an A pillar mount.
Thanks, Greg

No one makes them, but contact 1974dodgecharger.  He made up his own.

I figure I could do that as well. I'd just need a spare left side. Mine are mint and I'd rather screw up a spare!

I think this looks infinitely better than a cheap, flimsy pod super glued to the "A" pillar:

I wasn't looking for insults. No, I don't have any intentions of doing a half assed shitty job. Currently I have an auxillary oil pressure guage and an air/fuel meter in a custom pod I made. They are mounted in place of the ashtray. They sit too low for me. This is why I prefer a different location. I have seen the dash pad with the 3 guage pods in the center and do not like the look.

I've wanted this for years...

If I don't go with A-Pillar gauges on the Charger, I know I will at least be planning to install the tweeters, which is similar enough.

The biggest thing that concerns me after having had the A-Pillars off is the way they fit the dash frame...it is a really nice fit, but the overlap (hard to explain, but you'll know it when you see it) is going to be tough to replicate in glass...

I think the best option is likely to have a second set and simply modify the center portion for 1-2-3 pods etc...then wrap it.  I'd then just match the material for the RH Side.

I had a lot of people telling me what a horrible idea it was for my late model Chally...everyone else was ordering in the overhead console pods...3 of those people saw my set up and put their overhead stuff for sale.  The at-a-glance can't be beat and they look great...Especially with the wide pillars on late models.

The Charger has a much more slim A-Pillar with a sharp line down the middle.  I think they can be made to look great, it'll just take a spare set and some trial-and-error.

If I should get to this before anyone else does, I'll be sure to keep everyone posted.
