Gauges
OK, we're back from paint and its time to put those 29 milk crates full of parts back on the car. Anybody know of manufacturer that sells gauge packages like Dakota Digital does (I don't want the digital but like the package they sell for the C3) looking for something that will look good in the car and really work unlike the originals that have been modified by bubba and his freinds sometime before I decided to buy this project. I've seen some really great things that forum members have done and considering this 74 coupe was too far gone to ever be an ncrs candidate, customizing is the way to go. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another point to consider is the gauge face color. Like many others here,
I replaced mine with Autometer's Phantom series gauges. One reason I liked the white faces was that the stock gauges were difficult to read under bright conditions, like driving into the sunset.
