Doug,
Thanks for the props. I appreciate all the great comments on these! I'm sure they're gonna look great in your car. I'd love to have some pics of the final install . You're the only one that has a set of these. I don't even have a set for display LOL  :o

Your car is an excellent example of what these gauges were designed for; a mostly stock high-end restomod. Perfect!
Thanks again!
Daniel

doug nice guages!! how much did they set you back if you dont mind me asking?  also nice job on the paint. just wait until they are wet sanded and buffed up!! they will look 400 times better than they do now. nothing like black glass.

the price is in what you want to spend. he fixed anything wrong with it  calibrated the speedo fixed the clock so on.

call or email Daniel  he'll hook ya up.  or you can buy the marks and do it yourself.  he has a how to video on you tube.

its some money , for a nice look to a restored dash.   it'll look 100% better them the old faded marks.
I'll do the 79 with new marks in the fall.

got my gauges back from Daniel  @  gauge marks     www.gaugemarks.com

Daniel thay look great,  I kind of like having a 1 of 1 cluster.   it keeps my car different from everybody else.

thanks for your hard work.


  those look great! i have to get the tach on mine rebuilt. it stopped working a few years ago, yet i have a signal going to it, so i ASSume the problem is in the tach itself...
