However I have a complete dash from a 72 that has the rallye style round gauges. Is there a company that restores the entire dash? It is in bad shape and needs to have it changed from black to blue. Anyone know a ballpark of the expense? Last edited by carcrazyguy; 03/23/12 10:00 PM.

Ive had a bad experiance with them. they weren't very profesional about it at all. instrument specialties would be the place Id go to next hands down. 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer
