Putter & DJRacer -- I'm forever indebted!!!!!!!!!

Putter · 02-08-2006, 10:42 AM

Rob,
I am getting close to being ready to install any high-beam indicator you might want. If you get a second to choose a location, shoot me a PM.

GMan69 · 02-08-2006, 11:54 AM

Nice work Putter.
Rob, I'm envious about that fuel guage, too. But I think I'm going to like the clock.
Donna's (my wife) 1st cousin teaches printing at the nearby community college. He and a student did the reproduction. Turned out pretty nice, I think.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-08-2006, 12:11 PM

GMan69, if Putter/DJRacer hadn't found that fuel gauge, that would be my next choice. Matter of fact, I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate your clock into my interior! Do you think that the same thing could be done with the Oil temp or Water temp guage and then add them to the Autometer Phantom gauge?

Putter, do you have any pics of mock ups with the fiber optics going through the panel?

djracer · 02-08-2006, 12:55 PM

I'm glad I could help on those gauges! I haven't had time to look (been busy on the drag truck)but i'll keep my eyes open for more! I'm getting ready to do my cluster as soon as i get my bezels made it will be a little different but should be another option. I have the large water temp gauge!

Hey Putter,

Do you want my address so you can ship me George's(Gman69) cluster. I'll keep it for him until he's able to install it.

I'll give it back, I promise.

Nice try, Bryan. Putter's keeping it safe and warm until Donna's home from the hospital.

Putter · 02-08-2006, 06:02 PM

Dang. He inserted that VETO before I was able to agree! Better luck next time!

Green Machine · 02-08-2006, 06:33 PM

What size gauges are needed for each opening? Also about how much are those fuel gauges going for?

5150 · 02-08-2006, 06:33 PM

C'mon George I'll bring it to Maggie Valley for you.

Putter-My address is.....

**hevy_chevy67** · 02-08-2006, 06:59 PM

Sounds like these gauges are hard to come by. Good thing I didn't pass over the set I just got

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-08-2006, 10:47 PM

Very nice set-ups for sure... Any idea on what year monte carlo for the clock???

dinnut · 02-08-2006, 11:06 PM

how about mine

*bskylerj* · 02-09-2006, 12:09 AM

Here is mine. AutoMeter Ultralites. Yes that is a boost gauge. I have a supercharger in this as well.

muddpile · 02-09-2006, 12:44 AM

You guys sure have some nice setups! Here's mine with Autometer Streetrod Series.

70c10 · 02-09-2006, 08:20 AM

All these clusters look great!. The more I see the Covan's model, the more I really like it.

Mudder · 02-09-2006, 09:35 AM

Heck I may as well show mine. It's a little easier than mounting from behind, and I still like the looks of them.

Large ones are 5"
Small ones are 2-5/8"
Center one is 3-3/8"

The fuel gauge is not made anymore, so if you find a store that has it, you can get it at regular price ( roughly $50?)....but if an individual has it....it might as well be gold-plated!!!

HOWEVER....they do make all the 3-3/8" gauges in the Phantom series (white face) and you can get them anywhere Autometer is sold.

Mudder · 02-09-2006, 10:48 AM

Mooneyes has guages and they have a clock that appears to be about the right size for the center hole. I have not seen one used but looks like it would work alright imo.

Rusty Old Chevy · 02-09-2006, 10:54 AM

wow those are some really trick setups yall got...gives me alot of options...iam really diggin the skull set up and the aluminum one that was all C&C cut out with the Phantom Gauges from autometer....

It's from a Monte Carlo/ El Camino, '78 thru '87 year models.

I have found only two guages this size in the Phantom range - oil pressure and water temp - and they are both mechanical. If you don't want mechanical guages you're out of luck.

nate68 · 02-09-2006, 10:57 PM

i just did a rough calculation from summit for the phantom guages and it came out to around 460 or so for all the guages

Mudder · 02-09-2006, 11:42 PM

That sounds about right.

Putter · 02-21-2006, 12:47 PM

Here is the latest update on Hart_Rob's cluster.
The change is minimal, but I think it looks so much better.
I simply removed the black paint that comes from the factory on the bezel of a 3-3/8" gauge. The brushed aluminum color that is left underneath perfectly matches the surrounding gauges.

Here is a comparison....
