Has anyone used the white background overlays that this vendor sells? I know,I know, it is not an original look, but I kinda like them. It sure would brighten things up. If you have a cluster in rough shape like mine, why not? What do you guys think? Not a Charger I know of as yet. It's a round gauge in a cluster...you see that in magazenes all the time. Why not go for it?! He IS a nice guy that takes care of business as well as Legendary or any other reputable source  I actually thought about ordering a white set myself but knew that my eyes would not adjust to them. My idea of the perfect gauge would include backlit opaque numbers on a black face. To my eyes front lighting, even from the side, on any gauge face sucks at night. |

Dear clueless, They can be aquired through Wal-Mart. If they don't have them in your store let me know and I will send you one.

Bob, thanks for the tip, I might be taking you up on that offer... as far as the post count goes: GIVE IT UP... My Post Count is really over 3000, since ALL of my posts are at least 3 times longer than anyone elses.. (AND 3 times the quality, I might add!!) #stirthepot# If you start slammin' a bunch of one word replies and/or smilies, I'm gonna have my Ol' Buddy Tom (you know him...the Co-Admin of this fine forum) start deducting two posts from your count for every short "Non-Quality Post" that you write!! (Would I still get my silver sharpie, Bob?)  |

Apparently you have, You Old Fart!! It's XXXL,...Ya might wanna think about changing your User ID to Al Z. Heimer...that's Tom's favorite expression!!) And since we're hijacking the holy moly out of Brock's thread here, I think we better stop this... Or his beautiful Bride won't make me that Crawfish Bisque that Brock's been promising me!! And THAT would be a True American Tragedy!!  |

Brock, I took your idea of using the silver paint pen on your culster and put my daughter to work on my rear tail lights. They turned out great!  I then did the cluster but still have some work to do so i did not take any photos yet.  |

Roy has this idea to modify a cluster to include more gauges. I couldn't help but throw a quick pic together. What do you think? I Tweeked on the pic a bit. Tach moved left & original small pods moved up - at least its starting to all fit & grow on me alot! It's a great idea to me me Roy -even if starting from stratch might be the easiest way to pull it off.  |

Brock, you da man  That's exactly what I was thinking of. Now if we just had a Star Trek replicator, we'd be done  Is that a photoshop picture? It looks too real! That pic really makes me want to find a way to do it for real. You think it would be easier to use 2 rallye dash and cut/paste or make a mold of the existing upper 2 and form the lower ones from 'glass? Any ideas from anybody would be appreciated. Thanks, Roy |

As stated here there n yonder, this idea of Roys' has really grown on me:  nothin about this suggestion - just thinking out loud. A chopped fibre glass sprayer, with suitable release agent, could make short work of making the mold pieces. A cutoff wheel to join the parts together in preparing for a mold for a new cluster face made from chopped fibreglass sprayer should make this part come together in short order too. Of Course the fun part is now making a custom backplane - at least it isn't a printed circuitboard type at least where the connections are concerned! A smooth finish with real Rosewood steamed into the contours & stained / finished properly will make the factory guys jealous! Unfortunately, I have none of these tools at my disposal Any ideas?
