RS GAUGE WORKS

This 1948 Ford hotrod needed a complete gauge overhaul. The original factory gauges were gone, the customer had found this set of gauges at a swap meet. The car has modern electronics and needed a new set of gauges. Using Autometer gauges, we custom fabricated the mounts so that the new gauges will look like the factory originals. Cleaned dials faces and cases to match the car's interier, and the new speedometer.

The gauge cluster is a dominant feature located in the center of the Willy's dash. This cluster needed to be silk-screened to match the interior. New, modern gauges were also requested. Since modern gauges consist of a volt-meter rather than an amp gauge, the lettering was changed to reflect the new configuration while maintaining the original look.

The backs of the gauges are also marked to take the guesswork out of the wiring.

Modern gauges were fitted to this 1950 Ford cluster. The chrome was also treated to a nice new bath.

When your gauges are fitted with modern electronics, we make sure that the back of the gauges look just as good as the front. You may not be able to see the backs once the gauges are installed, but you will know they look, and are fitted professionally.

Just because the gauges in your car have the unique look of the period in which it was manufactured, don't assume that new, modern gauges cannot be adapted. The gauges from this 1954 Chevrolet have that nice period look. We have custom fabricated the mounts to give this cluster the factory look, with new modern gauges.

This Chrysler had a nice set of gauges to start with. The customer wanted custom color silk screen dial faces, custom built clock to match gauges. Plus, a fresher look with rechromed bezels, and cleaner faceplates. The new gauges now make this car look just as good on the inside as it does outside.
