    Custom Camaro/muscle car gauges-first set put togtther finally!

     



    Hey all,
    If your were following the thread a few weeks ago, I finally had a chance to get the first set of the stepper motor gauges together and take a couple of pics. The look pretty good, espescially at night. Not for restorations, but good for any musclecar they has an aftermarket dash and you want to keep a period look with new technology. These can be compared to the Autometer Cobalts and should be priced well below them, that is always the first question.
    Any input is appreciated before we go into production.

    here is the full set:


    Red and white backlighting:



    Here is the rough draft on the Mustang/60s muscle car air core sets, getting better except I put water temp where oil pressure goes on one of the combo gauges, still need to fix that:


    Again, any input is appreciated, I try to do as much research with the guys and gals that use our stuff before we start production, that is how we have developed most of our products, with tons of inputs from folks like you.

    And, as always if you have any instrument questions or issues from any manufacturer, feel free to ask away advice is free and I love to share my knowledge.
    Thanks again

    They really look good... With the white backlighting they are easy to read! Always have preferred the full sweep gauges, and yours look great--Easy to read and still fit into the stock look of a dash.... Very well done!

    Thanks Dave,
    You know how it is, after staring at something for a couple of weeks, its hard to be subjective.
