I have been thinking of doing a little custom work when I get to my interior and have been looking at how the audio junkies do their amazing work.   It doesn't seem to hard to make things like the pillar you are talking about.  Just lay out a frame in wood that will mount the gauges you want. Then stretch some fabric out on it to make a nice round pilar shape, then cote the fabric in fiberglass resin or "Tiger Hair", sand and do all the same stuff you would do when doing body work, and then paint.

Thank you for your email and interest in Auto Meter Products. 
Unfortunately we do not make a pillar or a pod for the
Challenger.  You may want to try an online Challenger forum, or do a
search to see if anyone has used a pod that will
cross-over.

You may also want to consider a mounting cup or gauge panel, both can
be found in the accessories section of the website.

Thanks again,
Ryan Davenport
