Does anyone have any good sources for custom guages, as far as face and bezel colors? I found speedhut guages that look pretty cool, just not sure of the quality. Any help would be appreciated-Thanks

Classic Instruments will do custome faces. I bought their gauges, but I am not sure of their quality as I haven't done any more than install them.

I have had Classic's in my car and I am putting them in the car I am building now. They have incredible customer service and tech advice second to none. Custom stuff gets to be quite spendy, but that might not be an issue for some. They were installed in Bob Johnson's 'cuda....Most hot rod builders have used them at 1 time or another. Check the web page out for examples. Pricing is comparable to the big guy and from my experience, the quality is a lot better.

Hey Darren,

What do you think of the lighting? Mine look a little dull, not very bright at all. Classic says to just put higher wattage bulbs in them, what do you think?

The speedhut guages are very nice. A buddy of mine installed them in his 03 cobra and they looked very high quality. In a later conversation he told me he liked them better than autometer because of the quality of connectors and the such.

Check out Redline Gauge Works (http://www.redlinegaugeworks.com/) They have done a couple big name cars. I think Steve Strope of pure Vision uses them a lot.

A friend of mine just had some guages reworked by redline for his 71 Challenger. He has not run them yet, but they are nice.
