Restore plastic chrome and gauges

[Timw8954]

Hey everyone.. does anybody out there have any connections to restore rally dash Plastic chrome and restore, speedometers, tach and other gauges? Thanks!

There used to be a company Mr. G's plastic plating. I think he sold the business, but check it out because someone took it over. I looked and they are still in business. They are not cheap, but they did an excellent job for me some years back.

Dang that was fast! Thank you!

As for complete cluster restoration.

Instrument Specialties

They are credited with many HIGH dollar restorations.

^^^^ yes I would try them also. Local to me but I've never dealt with them yet.

I have a "speedometer" shop locally that repairs, calibrates speedos and gauges. Check your local area.

Also check on Facebook etc for NOS gauges. Sometimes you can get NOS gauges cheaper than you can have your OEM pieces restored.

Fyi, I'm in the process of making the foam gaskets for the various dashes.

Currently I have 67-72 Dart standard dash available, but I'm working on the 73-75 (maybe 76) Dart standard dash also.

According to their website:

"We no longer have a vacuum metallizer or painter. Current inventory of 4000 parts available while they last.

I remember them from many moons ago. Hopefully not gone in the business.

GCAR out of Washington state is who did my dash bezels and pillar mouldings. Gorgeous job, there’s a wait, but once you’re in line, the communication is good. Instrument Specialties for the guage rebuild.
