If so, can you post pics?

I gotta get the gauge faces on my car fixed....I see Performance Graphics has the decals.....I'm a little leary of trying to do the speedometer myself....the needle is what I'm not sure of doing.

thanks, Bryan

I did the Performance Graphics decals on my 69 years ago but had a custom tach made that was painted and it matched up very nicely. It was a real simple install and have looked great. The one thing I did different is I painted the area around the odometer white. If you don't paint it you will have a small black outline around it since the decal does not completely cover that area. Also around the rivets on the side of the gauge. Not necessary though.

The speedometer needle is simple to get off. Just make sure to keep the cylinder in the back in place while pulling it off. Performance Graphics will include some instructions on how to remove it.

Has anyone heard of this company doing the white faces?

I had ordered a set from them as well and was not happy with the finished look. The decals have more of a gloss finish than the others and thought the matte finish from performance looked much better behind the lens.

Not to hijack the thread, but who does that?

Had it made by Redline gauge works. Fits perfectly in the housing without any modifications.

i also did a set of these, i think thats my review on their site. The hole for the speedometer needle didnt fit, had to cut a slot that is not invisible, and this was after cutting the bottom off the needle too (mine was damaged before anyway).

while its helpful to make my volt gauge look the part, ill most likely remove them when i start to build the car this year.

Also a warning for their dash resurface kit. it should say 69-70, the texture on the plastic for 68 makes it not stick at all. and their support basically said it fits 68 shape, but would need 1/2 pound of body filler to smooth out the entire dash to get it to work for 68.... Waste of money and cannot return, lesson learned.

I did the white face gauges brand, & yes it has a glossy look.
