I just thought that I'd ask to see if anybody had used their service to restore a dash cluster or a complete dash, for that matter. I am just looking for any personal experience someone may have had with these folk's? Thanks all.

I used Redline Gauge Services since they are on the west coast, but I heard plenty of people say good things about Mike.

Redline also is super busy right now.

My experience with I.S. was not the best......had to send guages back to have them redone, and each time my wait was 6 months. PM me with email for pics and details if you want to know more....otherwise I do read allot of positive about Mike.

I've used Mike and Instrument Specialties for about 12 clusters over the past couple years. I have never had anything there for 6 months. All the work I have sent them have come back in 2-3 months. I know they are very very busy. The work speaks for itself, simply gorgeous and it they function the way they are supposed to also. I am one very happy customer. I always drive my parts down and I must say his shop is a sight to see. Its like a surgical building for rare iron, immaculate. I have heard nothing but good things about Mike and his businesses. They have a repeat customer in me. Very Satisfied. Highly recommended.

Instrument Specialties took care of my 70 Challenger cluster and it looks and works better than new. You won't find a better customer service guy than Mike Mancini. First class in all aspects!

I sent my '70 cluster to IS today and I'm stoked. Thank's again guy's. Just as soon as I get this FC7 Roadrunner out of the shop I'm going to start on my F6 Daytona. I can't wait.......an old man re-living his youth

I like the fact that Mike, himself, calls you and discusses the work you want done.
