Thread: Working on a new product, looking fro input on gauges

Mighty nice of Pops to nominate me as your field tester, thanks ol' man.


Intersesting designs for the most part. The first set looks like a cross between the old SW green gauges with Auto Meter bezels, especially like the 270 degree config on those. The second set doesn't work for me for some reason, but I can't quite pin it down. Might be that a different bezel design would work better with the marking style. Just not sure. The third ones are just great, very period looking for '60s style.

But I'm with the other guys on the Woodward for '30s/'40s cars. I'd love something like those for the '36 coupe, but it doesn't look like you make them sized for the stock openings on a '35/36 Ford. The speedo hole is a nominal 4 3/8, the lesser two are nominal 2 3/8. The face and bezel are really nice though.

Are you saying you do "restoration/upgrade" to old panels? I've got one I'm thinking about new guts for the side gauges, and a mild spruce up of the gauge face (such as the temp on the far left of pic below), but not wanting to lose the "good" patina, just the bad. Here's a pic of the panel, pm me if that's the kind of thing you do.
