Gauge cluster refurbishing

[fallingdown]

I sent an email to 'classychassisrestoration' regarding restoration of my instrument cluster back in December. I still haven't heard anything. Glad I didn't send it in directly! Does anyone know if he is still doing this?

bkirby6,

Im sorry I missed your email!! Please feel free to call me at 801-673-2933, email me at kevin@classychassisrestoration.com or you can send me a PM through the forum.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Kevin Capito

Turn around time

I sent mine in the first week of January. It came in the mail today (it's one of the gauges on the last page of this thread). I had great email communication with Kevin and would use him again if needed. I had no issues.

The cost for chroming is about $65, a bit less if I can get several done at the same time.

Isn't nickel plating part of the chroming process? Does the shop have the ability to do a nickel finish? I am looking for something a little more subdued than chrome. I have one I need to get to you to go through and would be interested in the nickel finish if they can do it.

Kevin did a great job on my cluster. He is very professional and the turn around time was sick fast. Totally worth it.

fallingdown: I'm glad I posted yesterday or else I wouldn't have known! Your work looks great. I actually had glass cut this morning for the front of mine, since it was pitted and beyond repair. I may end up sending it to you anyway! Thanks for the response and I'll be in touch.

I am in the process of rebuilding my cluster myself and need to replace the turn signal and high beam lenses. Do you sell these or can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you.

Here is Dean R. Notice the new voltmeter.

First off - I'm very happy with my refurbed gauge.

But a quick question - do you know why some of the black faces have a bit of the spottiness around the speedo numbering? While others do not?

 

[fallingdown]

Dean,

I think what you are refering to is the corrosion on the face of the head unit. This can be fixed with an overlay ($35). in this case i dont think the speedo really needs the overlay.

Thanks Kevin. It's only noticeable in certain lighting or angles.

Does the refurb job you do on the cluster help with the lighting of the gauges & Speedo? My gauge has always seemed dim, hard to read. So I bought the LED bulbs from BCB. It might now be a tad easier to read because the light is more white than the old incandescent bulbs, but it's still too dim for my liking.

Mattt,

We have a few different options available. We can add a lumnious overlay or add additional bulb sockets to brighten things up.

Thank you,

Man, I know you've heard it a hundred times already, but you do some great work. You'll have two more gauge clusters coming your way as soon as I get back from the desert!

Okie69,

Thank you for the kind words! I assume by "desert" you are talking about being deployed. Thank you for service. We all owe you and your family a debet of grattitude.

Stay safe and PM me when you get home.

I appreciate it, I really do.

And, you'll be hearing from me in a few weeks!
