    Just had my speedometer and tach for my 56 T-Bird done by Rusty at Speedometer Service, e1956v on the Hamb. Turned it around in record time, used NOS parts to fix it, at a great price. Tach works great, haven't driven the car yet, due to the weather, but I am sure speedometer will be fine also. So a big recommendation goes out to Speedometer Service and Rusty.

    Thanks so much for the kind words guys. I try to provide a good service experience and a fair price. The HAMB and all of you guys have been very good to me. I’ve made some great acquaintances and friends here. I really appreciate all of you guys and your business.

    It takes a lot of experience, innate talent & patience to fix these old mechanical gauges & he's definitely got it. This is a craft that there is no school or YouTube D.I.Y. to go to, so it's good that we have Mr. Buster in our ranks.

  13. Rusty has helped me out several times over the years, I can't say enough about his dedication & fast turn around.

    When he was cleaning out his shop and slowing down his retail business he found a NOS speedometer for a '54 Ford and sent me a conversation and told me what he had, he made me a exceptional deal on the speedometer.

    Rusty is the man if you need any speedometer related help. HRP

    In 20 years on the Hamb, this post about Rusty and Speedometer Service has gotten the most likes of anything I have posted in the past 20 years. I think this is awesome!:D
