70 Roadrunner. Want to restore the instrument cluster & use original-looking gauges. No digital or aftermarket that don't match. I've seen that the amp gauge should be converted to volts & the clock to a modern internal construction. Contacted a restorer ( Instrument Specialists ) who quoted about $2,000. for a complete restoration of the cluster face & rebuild of the gauges !! Seems pretty high. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Rocket

I know that Performance Car Graphics is high, but his work is top notch, and he stands behind what he does. Dave Patik is a true car guy, and will do what ever it takes to make sure his customers are satisfied. Dave used my '75 to make the inverted "U" stripe for the deck lid. His attention to detail is second to none. I am currently working with him to reproduce the "Mod Top" decal for the side windows on Melanie's Barracuda.

69hemibeep: Thanks for the info. on RedLine Gauges. A complete restoration, rebuilding and silk-screening the gauges, converting the clock to quartz & amps to volts: About $900.-$1100. They told me that the cluster would come back to me as new & original. Now, I just have to wait till next winter. Thanks, Rocket

I have worked with Dave on a couple of specialty items, he is top notch! I had a decal for maintenance of a hemi air cleaners that he made up for me after I showed him pics of the original.
