Default Gauge Restoration -63

I have read the threads on the topic. Because as time passes some companies can go from Good to Bad, and others Bad to Good

So who would be the best to send my Tach and Speedo off too?

Anyone on the Left Coast?
Right Coast is fine, but Lefty is closer.

I think Corvette Instruments and Bill Harrison (both in Florida) are the ones I'd use.

If you have to ship to the lower 48 anyway what's a few more miles ?

The one that I highly recommend is Bill at harrisonspeedometer

He did my entire cluster and the result is nothing short of spectacular. He also did several other acquaintances gauges and clusters, and they are all extremely happy with their results as well.

Bill's attention to detail is fantastic.

Brian did all the gauges in my 61. Excellent work.

Er... Palm Desert... but close by... I would second the recommendation. They did a beautiful job on my '63 clock and I was convinced it was unsalvageable.

Good luck... GUSTO
