Wish I had a better picture, cause they sure are purdy...

Palo Alto Speedometer Service calibrated & silk screened the gauges added a quartz clock movement & VDO Tach internals, CV Platers did the Plastic rechrome work, I polished the lens, NOS switchs...

might be hard to see the gauges in the pic, but there were done by auto instrument specialties. pretty good people to work with. my only gripe, which really isn't that big of a deal, was they used decals for the obdomete numbers. they turned out pretty good I thought.

Auto Instruments or Instrument Specialties? I don't use cheap decals.

I had Auto Instruments do mine and I am extremely pleased with the results. (nothing against Instrument Specialties). Mine was not done with decals.

Was the odometer redone with decals, or are they silk screened also, and was it disassembled, lubed and reset to zero, or orginal mileage showing???

I rebuild the odometer roll and factory screen print each wheel. I don't use decals on anything. I re-set milage to zero or whatever is requested.

Auto Instruments. Great job, but as usual, the chrome held everything up
