Just wondering if there's any good options out there for 1971 E Body rallye dash woodgrain for the gauges and switches? I know Performance Car Graphics was one of the best out there and I know the owner has passed late this last year - are there any other good options out there for E Body rallye dash woodgrain? My car is a coupe with three holes for the switches. Thanks!!!

If you’re not in a hurry, that business is for sale and will be back.

I have a 71 cluster that prob needs the small gauges replaced/repaired and the large stuff refaced. Also the woodgrain done. Convertible, but manual top. Bezel is very nice. Anybody know a ballpark number for a resto on this? I have a buddy with entire dash and restored cluster hiding in his shop. Deciding to restore mine or buy his/sell mine.

If you farm it out to the few individuals doing instrument restoration an OEM resto of a complete E body cluster will run upwards approx $2K+ depending on what you need/want done, a whole turnkey dash resto will run $5-6K....I've seen some guys drop close to $10K....all depends on what you require, but expect to break off a few thousand
