Please PM me your info.. I have a 50 plymouth I amrestoring right now and am ready to go on this..I need a phone to call... Any HAMB discount?.. EVILT

 

Here is an example of a 50 Ford F1 gauge cluster, restored to perfection, notice the intricate cross hatch pattern and even the odometer wheels have been re-screened. Email with any questions. vintageignition@yahoo.com

 

Looks good, I emailed you.

 

Do you do aftermarket Stewart warner gauges? If so which ones? Flat Bezel 2 5/8 ?

 

How about modern movements in older gauges?

 

Mike,
Where in MA are you located? I'm out near New Bedford.

Do you restore the phosphorescent (?) paint on gauges and needles (so they glow again)?

 

Yes, I do have the special glow paint. It is exact to OEM in every way. Glow clusters look awesome when done correcty. Email me for more details. -Mike

 

Shouldn't this be in the Hamb-O-Dex section?

 

I don't have 100 posts yet.

 

Sorry, I didn't realize that was a prerequisite. Just thought more people would be looking there when they need work done, but who knows.

 

Thanks!

 

i got some work for ya before spring. . . Viva La HAMB Alliance

 

Sure, send them my way... email me for an address.

Very cool. I have a set of SW boat gauges and I want to convert the clock to a speedo. Also, they are all 6volt (fuel, temp, etc.) and the tach needs to be re done to more RPMs. The screening is a little more complex though than most. Is this a problem?

 

Those are some cool gauges, Comet!

 

How much to silkscreen ALL, and VDO movements on the 4 smaller gauges (0-90 on fuel?). Amp changed to Volts, with center being 12 Volts? What's the turnaround?

 

Someone has asked about electronic tach upgrades and the answer is yes. Email for details.

 

Cool. I'm leaving the country Sat. so I'll try to remember to contact you after I get back.

Yeah, thanks! The real cool part was the price....FREE! They are called SW Sunburst (or something close to that). Came out of a 1957 Century Coronado with a Hemi mill. My A will have a '58 392 so it all works in the grand scheme of things.

 

Sounds good. Thanks. -Mike

 

I have gotten many emails for more pics. I will be posting more examples of my work soon. -Mike

 

I have a Dixco tach, that I would like checked and set up for a 6 cyl. No need to restore the out side, kinda like the way it looks now. Also have a 54 Chevy truck guage cluster that I would like converted. Not sure what would need to be done. Amp to volts, temp sender, and oil preasure is the tube type. Want to use the stock fuel tank. Would you have to modify the guage and the sender to work on 12 volts? Thanks, Dennis UPS, let me know, estimate and addy.

 

Someone has asked about vintage Sun tachs w/ relay boxes. Yes I can service/upgrade all Sun products. Thanks -Mike

 

You said that you'll do full resto, but what about just clean ups/paint change? I have a '58 Chebby that is in good condition, but I would just like to change to antique white along with antiquing the lettering in a brown/gold. What kind of turn-around are we talking (it's a driver)?

 

If I just cracked the gl***, can I buy the gl*** and a bezel from you and roll it on myself?

 

Hotrodhon, not sure what you mean?

 

Many have asked about electronic speedo upgrades, the answer is yes on round speedo's only. Thanks -Mike
