Here is a better pic of guage project

This is a speedometer guage face. I painted it and applied the graphics to it. As you can see I can do any color. Does anyone else think this is cool or am I waisting my time?

I think they look great. I would think especially for the person wanting a suttle change from stock. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

The numbers and letters will be applied to the back of the lens once the old ones are polished off. The lens will be almost exactly like the original in appearence but will be done in diffrent colors. These pics dont really do it justice, the graphics really stick out nicely, much brighter and bolder than the originals.

I hate to say this, but that is a trade secret. If you want one of these clusters just let me know. It has taken me a year of work off and on to develope this process. The pics dont do it justice, these gauges turned out way better than I thought they would. Glad you like them and thanks for the interest.

Thumbs up

If he wants to make a quick buck, that's fine with me. How much for a white faced set?

Makw sure your reds and yellows and oranges are OK for staying in the light...the UV rays will make them look bad in just a couple years otherwise.
I am also interested in white fased guages...only speedo and fuel. What would that set me back?
