73 instrument dial
Hi Guys,
Since my frame off became a total strip and rebuild i am down to a bare shell , a painted chassis with new steeroids kit and rebuilt rear end , so now i am onto the really challenging items
Everything is out of the interior now as i prepare to clean up and re insulate and while i took out the instruments i noticed that due to the age of the plastic the main speedo and rev counter housings were cracked and brittle so time for a change .
i have an issue with the rev counter facia as there is rust pitting in areas and i would like to take the facia off clean it up and repaint it . i have seen some of the work the guys have done restoring their instrument faces where they have repainted and then obtained new decals for the face . Can anyone advise where i can get these decals ? I cant locate them from the vendors advertizing on the forum and dont want to get people into trouble by breaking forum rules , but any information would be appreciated .
John

JohnIf you would like, email me at support@Willcoxcorvette.com and I'll see what I can find for you. If I can't get new, there is a good chance I may have good used faces..

UOTE=Willcox Corvette;1589393019]There isn't a decal... but we should have new speedometer faces and tach faces for around 29.00 each. They are not on our site and I can't check this until Monday... I just not 100 percent sure the 73 faces are available yet.
