Custom Gauges Are Here

ok i finaaly uploaded the custom gauges and here they are,

i have 8 sets to upload so pease dont post until i have them all up

for anyone who hasnt been keeping up to date on these gauges here is the scoop,

im in a very tight bind right now with cash,

so i have several templates saved on my computer,
here are some of the templates,

i also have someone sending me a set of 79-80 gauges and 81-83 gauges so i can temlates made from them,

the following images are just to show what i can do.

here are the options currently available
any color numbers,letters,background,background picture

that pretty much means anything goes,

the current ones you see here are only $40.00
for a custom setup im charging $45.00

the pictures you see are not just templates from my computer, THEY ARE THE ACTUAL GAUGES SCANNED IN AND UPLOADED
so what you se is what you get

the blue lines you see are the part that is to be cut out,
i will do all the cutting and custom fitting for you,
all you have to do is put them in,

my gauges take a fraction of the time to install compared to other custom gauges,

when you use my custom gauges your old gauges are left unharmed so you still have the option to reuse your old gauges if you wish to do so,

ok any more questions??? p.m. me

here is how this all got started

SCHEMATIC KICKS ***. i was in a pm tag match with someone else on the sa's. he said that he thought he knew someone with and old set lying around. if not i'll still pull mine. i have no $$$ for shipping or the gauges right now. in fact i have no $$$$for gas for the van. i'm screwed. anyone know a company looking for a drafter/designer/modeler?

For installation, do these replace or overlay the originals?
How do they look with the standard backlighting? Is there a better bulb to buy that would light them up better?
Any pics after install?

These questions are just curiousity, I'll still take a set.

mar3, you're welcome to send if you can do it that quickly. kilr, can you darken up the first schematic one. i like the faded but you can barely see that one. maybe darken it for the sa's.

darkening it a little bit could be cool, but the second one seems to dark. makes the gauge face to busy.

Keep in mind that they had 85mph speedos in '80 and I think '81 also.

I think 82 was too a 85, first year of the 120 was 83 again, right?

it is easy enough to put a 140 mph gauge in the earlier clusters, so donot worry about it. just do that... that is what i have in mine.
