hey out there .....building a 67 charger restomod.....who makes a full set of gauges that are close to matching the originals?or did 67 have a full factory set i can get?i really like the look of the factory gauges, but i want all my gauges to match , cuz im anal like that.....i cant stand having the tach on the column, or a set of them cheesy triple guages

The 67 Charger came with a complete guage set although they aren't necessarily the most accurate in the world.  Are you missing the instrument cluster in your car or looking to replace them with something that is just similar but more modern?

My dad is restoring a 67 from the ground up.  The "parts car" turned resto project came without an IP cluster and since it was an electoluminescent (sorry if my spelling sucks) not that many people can repair those either.  My dad used a company out in Washington state who repairs electro style clusters.  They found an old cluster for him and restored it as well.  The work was spectacular but he probably spent $2k on it.  If I can find the name I'll post it.

im looking for a set that wont look out of place.....all of them i seen so far look like 50's  vintage, or 70's- 80's style....im lookin for that 60's look ......but the accuracy of updated guages......

Well, the factory ones were never incredibly accurate.  I'm not sure of what you are envisioning, but I'm kind of thinking your best bet might be to take the factory bezel and see what kind of modern arrangment you can stack in those four pods.

i just want the numbers on the face to be era correct....most ive seen so far look to modern , or too old

Couldn't one of the instrument graphics places make up something for you?

[dodgeboy67]

From their FAQ page.

I don't see a kit for my vehicle? Can I still have Dakota Digital gauges?
Most vehicles that we don't have a kit for can be handled by our custom shop. For most customs you will need to send in your original bezel and gauge housing so that we can remove the factory gauges and custom build our digital gauges into your bezel and housing. The bezel should be sent in "ready to install" condition so if it needs to be repainted, chromed etc. be sure to do it before you send it to Dakota Digital. For more information call Dakota Digital's custom shop at (800)593-4160.
