| In the near future I am going to be rewiring my 56 Windsor. I figure since I will have to pull the dash apart it would be a good time to have all the gauges gone through. Can anyone recommended a good gauge restoration place? It would be a plus if you have used them and can vouch for them. Thanks |

Location: So. Cal | Redline gauges, which is very close to me, restores them. But unfortunately, I can't recommend them. Most of their customers wait for ages before anything gets touched. I just go through them myself and thoroughly test them before re-installation. Make sure you ground them while you do that! If the face is damaged or discolored, you can have a sticker made up to cover it. I've never done that so I hope others can chime in on the best type of sticker to use for it. Then get orange-glow paint to re-paint the needle. |

Location: Muskego, WI | Try calling the number at this place in Milwaukee. I forget the gentleman's name, but after talking to him it did appear he knew what he was doing. Rather than restore my noisy 1956 Chrysler 300 150 mph speedometer, I sold it as-is. He did provide me with a speedometer gear adapter to recalibrate my speedometer to work with my new to the car 2.76 gears and that has worked very well so far.

Location: Ferndale, WA 98248 | JC Auto Restorations in Lynnwood WA has been doing gauge restos for years. Not cheap, but good work and very thorough. As with most of these things, a degree of patience is needed. They did the 300G cluster in my car.
