I would like to get my instrument clusters rebuilt
and don't want to do them myself.
Thanks,

Give D&M Restorations (Mike and Diane Freeman) a call in Greenville, S.C. He has done this for years. Once had a business up in Ma. or N.J. I think. Came south to play golf. He does excellent work as I have guages he worked on 8 years ago still doing/working good. His # is 1-800-722-0854 or 864-421-9959 | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | Just got a "NOS" 1940-46 speedo from them from an ebay auction. Speedo looks very clean... except for their service sticker they put on the back side.

I went the decal way and got them from Obsolete Truck out of Georgia. That was about 9 years ago and they still look like new in my 37. I had Mike to use my ORIGINAL guages but fix the amp for the 12 volt and fixed the oil pressure to where when it reads 15 its acutally 30 and when it reads 30 its actualy 60. This was to keep it them looking original but accomodate the V8 engine. The cost to do mine was $325 back then. Call Mike and chat with him. He has been around awhile and may be able to give you a good estimate on the phone.
