Rallye Gauge panel restoration

[BB72Chally]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a company that restores the Rallye woodgrain panel face? I have considered purchashing the woodgrain decal but would like the small/thin chrome trim redone along with the woodgrain if possible.

Also, is there somewhere that does clock resto/quartx conversion, tach and speedo reconditioning.

Have searched all over and can't find a source for light tubes, does anyone know of a source?

My rallye dash in my '72 does not have the seat belt indicator, knobs do not go through the woodgrain, and it has the 8K tach...could that have been a leftover 71 unit?

Thanks
Jeff

 WelcomeJeff
Peformance graphics in Fla can restore the guages
 the only thing I have seen is the decal to resto the woodgrain
the light tubes are tough to get , I don`t know of any reproductions either

I can verify that Performance car graphics does great work, as Chryco said. I have a real nice set of gauges for sale on E-bay now, if you are interested. Check under "parts for sale" on this site.

Try redline guages in cali. They just redid my instruments and the face of the dash along with the plastic chroming. Turn around was about 5 -6 weeks. The last time I checked with performance they were 6 months.

Welcome to the board Jeff!  We bought a new woodgrain panel (sticker) for the face.  However, after removing the same kind of woodgrain "sticker" from the console, I've chickened out of doing it to the guage face.  The console took me about 6 hours to remove and thats with every conceivable chemical to peel it off.  The other problem I have with it, is that the  4 switch peice has the names of the switch underneath them on the original.  On the new "sticker" there are no cutouts for these switches.  It would be wonderful to have a company that did this.  I don't know of any.

On the guages themselves, we went with  AutoInstruments.com  Here's a pic of how they turned out.

Thanks Rev-It-Up and Camjam, I'll contact Autoinstruments and Redline and see what they have to say. Talked with David yesterday at Performance Graphics and came away with good news, and not so good news. The good news is they can do everything, including making the woodgrain metal fascia look like new. They also can re-do the heater control panel, and of course, the gauges. The bad news is, it's not free and they wont be done tomorrow

Just kidding, though Camjam was exactly right, turn-around time is about 5-6 months. Will contact the other two companies and see what their prices are though before I ship everything off.

Did find out some info on the gauge cluster though. My '72 has a '71 cluster in it...must have been a left-over or something. (reset knobs thru the plastic gauge face and no seat belt light.).

Does anyone know if NAPA, Autozone or the like carry switches (headlight, wiper, etc?)

Thanks again for all the help
Jeff
