Most of the gauge work we do is custom. We either customize our own gauges or we do retrofits. Although we do some repair, its mostly our stuff and retrofits; where we put new stuff in an old gauge so it looks old but works.

Hello Mark. I did the same thing to my 41 Stude gauge. I gutted the old gauges and retrofitted them with modern VDO gauges.. Wasn't all that hard just requires alot of patience. I'd like to see some pictures of some of your work. -robert

Thanks!

Those are my sketches, we are actually a design firm. I have some guys doing work for us that are really good, I am an adrquate sketcher. We have the ideas and styling expertise, them we find companies locally that can do engineering and manufacturing for us. It works out very well because everyone warrantys their parts, so we have reat products that look great.

As to the retrofits, most anyone who is knowledgable and paitent can do them, the hard part is the artwork and screen printing.
