The place that Graveyards Cars uses is Instrument Specialties which is owned by Mike Mancini who also owns American Muscle Car Restorations. I personally have not had any work done by either place but I have been at MCACN and been able to look at cars that they have restored, he has had cars on lifts so you can get up close quite impressive. I would consider American Muscle Car Restorations to be one of the top restoration shops. Call them and find out how long it would take to restore your dash cluster. I had a cluster done, very happy with it. When I called to find out how long it would be to have my Tic-Toc-Tach reworked with modern internals,I was told it would be almost a year wait to get it back. Has anyone had work done by Redline Gauges in CA? Good/Bad?

I liked it so much that they're currently restoring a 71 340 Duster for me. The best shops always have a long wait time. I have a Challenger T/A that came from the west coast with a restored dash from Redline that was done almost 10 years ago and it looks and functions perfectly.

Hi Guys,
I appreciate all of the compliments greatly.
I am going to post shortly in a separate thread regarding my company Instrument Specialties and current timelines etc as there is some misinformation written here.
Thanks Mike Mancini

Redline did my 67.. I would have had Mancini do it if I lived closer to the east coast, but living in Oregon I felt that there was less possible shipping damage to be had by having the closest shop do the work... Mine was done probably 10-12 years ago by Redline and it still looks like new..
Gcar did the resto on the plastic dash pieces and it still looks like new..
Most people who look at my car seem to spend a lot of time admiring the dash, so I have always felt it was money well spent..
Between dash pad, gauges, work by gcar, new wire harness, I have appx 3K into that part of the car ( I did all of the disassembly/assembly of the dash)
Hope this helps
