gauge refacing

[471_Magnum]

When I pull my instrument panel to replace my wire harness, I'd like to get my gauges refaced.

I called Auto Intruments to get and estimate, and while I'm sure they do excellent work, they're a little over my budget.

For less than $50, I can get the decals which is more in line with my budget.

Anybody have experience with these? Are they a good substitute for having the gauges re-silkscreened? Who is the best source for these?

I have done a few sets with the kit from www.performancecargraphics.com

They are high quality and real easy to do.     The only way you can tell that a decal kit was used is by the opening for the odometer and a bit on the clock part of the tic-toc-tach.
You have to look real close as well to notice it

Either I'm blind, or they don't list a DIY kit on their website.

No, it says drunk.
It must be one of those court ordered breathalyzers that you must use prior to starting the car.  If it lights up, Chris is pissed and must take a cab home or give the keys to his wife/girlfriend.

Its there.......

Just click "Instrument cluster parts & services"

Then click "1968-1970 B Body Ralleye"

They used to list the prices but I guess the went up.  If I remember correctly the speedo & 4 gauges was like $25
The tach was $16

Yeah, I got one of those too.... now quit hijacking my post.

I plan on spending the heavy dollars to get the cluster restored by Auto instruments this winter.  Below is a link to another similar topic.

PCG is out of stock on the kits.

Anybody know of an alternate source?

i looked at the setup they had for the third gen cars, and i didn't see the faces needes to do my dash. i have the SE cluster withthe spedo and the BIG clock and then the Alt, Fuel, Temp, and oil are in the side guages above the radio. i just orderd my tach from Charger Specialties yesterday and thought i'd refinish the guages while i had the dash apart.
