I am looking for something pretty nice but think the $1750.00 and $1250.00 quotes I got for doing mine is a little high. If the one they have is $425.00 it seems like the way to go. I'm sure the rebuilders with higher price have to put in a lot of time and I would be happy there but if I can get out of it $1000.00 less i'm happy there to. :hammering:

They seem abit pricey. On the whole though I have been pleased with everything else I have got from those folks - Chevys of the 40s. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 703 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 703 | Before you spend that kind of money, I'd suggest that you also try Bow-Tie Bits.
I haven't replaced mine yet, but their prices on reconditioning gauges seemed to be some of the better ones when I was looking. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,158 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 1,158 | I picked up some used gauges on ebay, so all of my old gauges work.
I got some new gauge background stickers, though. I haven't got them all on yet; I did the speedometer when I had it out for testing. | | |
