White Face C-3 gauges??
I saw pics of a beutiful blue interior that had white faced gauges. The center guages looked aftermarket, but the speedo and tach looked absolutely factory, but were white faced. I am giving serious consideration to doing this to my 68 because it looked way cool. Is this something totally 1 off custom, or maybe the gauges are the same as some other GM cars but were white faced in other models.

You can get a variety of different gauges from this site: http://hp.autometer.com/buyers_guide...uct_lines.html
I think I'm going to go with the either the Cobalt or Traditional chrome gauges....

Are you referring to patnitrovet's dash?
Those are Autometer's Phantoms. I think most who do their gauges use the Phantoms.
Micheal, have you seen the Cobalts at night? Very cool!

Another one that works great is the Ultra Lites which also have white faces

I got the Autometer Cobalt tach-------not in the standard gauge position---------on the center column, but I love the look. They are not white face, but at night they look better than the White face w/ orange in my 2001 toyota.

What's the big attraction to white-faced gauges? Personally, I don't think they look all that hot. Granted, they ARE different than stock, but I don't understand why others think they are the stuff.

wow, thats nice. I wonder who repainted the faces. For the autometer gauges, carbon fiber is my favorite I like the needle. The orange needles all the other guages just dont do it for me.

This is EXACTLY IT!! Note how the speedo and tach look factory correct for a c-3 (other then the white face)
