just wondering if auto meter digital gauges are any good .they arent cheap so i was thinking they would be okay but just checking if any one has used them or had any issues with auto meter in general. im looking at the 5 gauge set pn 6500 and the tach has to be bought separate .gonna be about 800 i think after tax.or should i be using mechanical gauges for water and oil . i think i will be rewiring the car if it makes a differance. thanks

I'm currently rebuilding a dash and gauges with auto meter sport comps. A member here, V-100, posted today about an another USA gauge company: http://www.marshallinstruments.com/ that has some nice looking gauges too. Are you set on the digital look?
Im not set set on the digital i was just looking to get them in a set but i think after looking somemore i am leaning towards the american muscle series from auto meter.does anyone know what ohms range the factory fuel sender is

This looks really nice. What is the frame made of and how did you make it?
the main frame of it is 16 gauge sheet metal that i cut bent and welded .then i welded some 1/4 solid round bar all the way around to get the raised edge then did some bondo work on it . the carbon fiber part is aluminum cut to just fit on the inside then drilled the holes through both parts at same time then i wrapped the aluminum with the carbon fiber looking fabric.

After seeing that, I think I'm definitely going to be copying this idea. That looks NICE! What did this go into?

Auto Meter Sport Comp II's inside (and out). Had a couple of electronics/calibration issues but they were very good about repairing/replacing them.
