Hey guys!! I have aftermarket oil press. and temp gauges in the dash of my 62 where the Idiot light and clock used to be. Now I kinda like them there but I was thinking it would be cool if they looked like factory gauges. Is there any company out there that makes such a thing??? Or some one that could make an aftermarket gauge look like factory??? What I mean is, eventhough they never made the gauges, you could use matching lettering and colors. I have a freind of mine who built a 70 road runner and sent all of his originall gauges somewhere that rebuilt them with new internals and had the faces made white with black lettering instead of the factory black with white letters.

Go to the member list and find Nuts, then click on his 62 Belair build picture history. He made one for his car using a clock delete. Very nice work.

Hey guys!!! Thanks for the replys!!! I like the idea that NUTS had. I think I can do the same if I had another temp. light gauge. So my next question is, does anyone have a decent used temp light they would be willing to sell cheap???? I say cheap cause if I screw this up or it does't work then I won't be out much.
