Default Need help with restorers.

Couple of things I am going to have done. Recommendations.
1 My instrument cluster and gauges restored and calibrated, along with my clock and glove box door.
2 Console restored.
3 Bumpers re chromed. Other than Pauls chroming, I live in N.Y.Is there a local place, close to me.
4 Where can I buy just the tach cable without the casing?

I normally would recommend Harrison speedometer, but for one stop shopping, Corvette specialties of Maryland west, your local speed shop for the cable.

Check with Paul Comeau, he's up in Mongomery (Orange County). He has lots of parts from his Corvette Specialty days. He is on here as Paulywannafly.

Good luck,
Sonny

I have been using Brian at Corvette Specialties of MD for Gauges, GB doors & Wiper motors for over 30 years with great results. Bill Harrison is also very good but I don't think he will do the GB door.

I had my cluster restored by D&M in South Carolina and it looks great and Librandi's in Harrisburg did my two rear bumpers for $600. They look better than fronts which were done by Paul's.

2024 C2 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Default Cluster Restoration

I'm glad you asked the group about him. I have had Roger do three c2 clusters over the years and never had a problem. I must be missing something??? I never see recommendations for him on the forum.

I am needing to get my cluster restored for my recently acquired 63 and had planned to use him again. Should I not?

Thanks much for any input!
