So, I am getting down to some details on my 914 build and I am looking at gauge restoration. I called(straight to voicemail) and emailed North Hollywood but have not heard back yet. I am trying to get an idea of the cost of gauge restoration. No major issues with my gauges that I am aware of but would like them to look fresh as the whole rest of the car will be as well. I know this can vary a lot based on the condition issues etc. would anyone mind sharing their cost of gauge recommendation or even a ballpark number. Any recommendations other than Palo Alto and North Hollywood for this service?

QUOTE(Stark 01 @ Dec 4 2020, 07:22 AM)  If it’s only a visual refresh you are looking for, have you considered doing it yourself ? I resto-modded a Datsun years ago, and I carefully painted the exterior, polished the clear lenses, applied decals to the face of the units, and painted the needles. Best one day project I ever did, LOL. I have one gauge I need to take the glass off of to clean up. I have seen the rings get butchered if not done right and I really want to avoid that however possible. QUOTE(mepstein @ Dec 4 2020, 07:36 AM) There's a couple people on the samba that do a good job for reasonable prices. The big names have gone out of sight price wise. I have been on samba and believe I have seen the guys you are referring to. Do you have experience with them directly by chance? Their prices do seem to be reasonable. QUOTE(ThePaintedMan @ Dec 4 2020, 08:17 AM) Contact @timothy_nd28 . He's a wizard and can also really upgrade the backlighting at the same time. I will reach out thanks for the info. I also found this place on eBay. Anybody ever done business with these guys? http://www.specialtygauge.com |
