Pics of my weekend custom project

[alanw6]

Thought I'd post a couple pics of a radio delete panel my friend and I made for another friend with a 2003 GT. He decided to do some weight reduction, and added a vortech v-1 blower to the car. Part of the weight loss was the entire Mach 460 system, and this was my suggestion to fill the space usefully.

The panel holds Autometer Ultra-lite mechanical boost and electric fuel psi gauges. The three switches are for his line lock, and the fan and pump of the heat exchanger. Also, an SCT flip chip was put in place, using a custom billet knob.

I'm really happy with this project, and the owner (most importantly) loves it!

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

Yes, it's completely functional. We threw the standard SCT knob in the trash and made this one. It was cut to the same diameter of the switches for a nice match, and there is a ball-milled dimple to show the setting. (It's on zero in the picture)

whats the writing in the middle?
0 Street
1 Strip
2 ?
whats it for

Its for the different tunes he has stored in his SCT Flipchip. Setting 0 for street driving tune, Setting 1 for Race Track use tune, and setting 2 for a highly advanced, high boost tune only usable when running race gas. He can flip between the three anytime he needs to to get that tune for that situation. Hope I helped!

You nailed it Tony, thanks.

The other settings are reserved for a stock tune and a "valet" mode, disabling the car from starting. For obvious security reasons as well as space constraints, those weren't engraved.

BBriBro, a standard off-the-shelf Mustang aftermarket radio dash kit was modded to hold the gauges and switches. Here's a shot of the assembly for your reference:
