Here's a link to my interior work.

Tied to post a picture but the sizing is not right...

Not 100% finished yet. I have installed 6 dakota digital gauges, but haven't had a chance to take another picture.

Thanks, when I did it it was way to large. I guess I need to resize my images on my website.

Hmmm.... I don't suppose anyone wants to donate a couple of old console gauges for me to try painting by hand?

I found this site earlier, has anyone tried anything like this to make "new" gauges? http://66.70.211.27/decals/decal_paper.html

I'm the guy that sent www.whitegauges.net my 69 set (cluster, speedo and tach) At the time they didn't have them available for the early Sharks. Ryan at whitegauges had them make the templates, applied them to my gauges, and shipped them back for $60 and two weeks. I'm sure they'd do the same for all years and gauges. Highly recommend.

With the tops off and the sun at your back they can wash out a little but still easily visible. Kits a little bit of a pain to install but I would help however I could,

It would be too costly for me to send my gauges in. Apart from the oil temperature gauge, is there any difference between the earlier Vette console gauges and the console gauges in my 82? If they were the same, I wouldn't mind paying the shipping on just one gauge that they needn't send back. Shipping for just a set of decals would be pretty cheap...
