Today while doing a google search for Redline to get their phone number, I first found this company that primarily services GM/AC Delco gauges.....
http://www.redlineg.com/redlineg/Welcome.html
It wasn't the page I was use to seeing and I knew what I wanted was in California so I did another search and found them. Their addy is.....
http://redlinegaugeworks.com/

I know nothing about the one in Tennessee and they may very well be better than the one in California or vice versus.  But anytime that someone is told to contact Redline, it might be best to provide the addy or at least tell them which State to check.
As the great Sgt. Phil Esterhaus of the Hill Street Precinct use to say "Lets be careful out there. "

Are you looking for opinions on Redline gauges?  I just had my gauges done by them.

No. I sent my cluster to them today to get the amp gauge switched to volt. Apparently its not a simple gauge swap.

That is deceiving indeed.  Had my gauges redone by Redline in CA and I'm very happy.  Swap Ammeter for Voltmeter, new Tach board for electronic ignition, quartz clock, clean and lube speedo, test all gauges and polish face.  Fabulous job.

Can I ask how much it cost to do this?  And how long did it take?   :thinking:

The complete refurbishing was a little over $1,000 and took about a month.

Hmmm very tempting . . . anyone done this at home?  Do you have any pictures of the final product?  I assume they painted the needles and refaced the gauges?  Looks brand new?   :thinking:

@Spikedog08

Here's my receipt.  Let me know if you have any questions. I didn't do that amp conversion but wish I would have now.  Amp gauge just shorted out.  That conversion is like $280 or $300

I tried to work out a deal by offering cash or doing more business with the guy but basically he has his prices and from what I can tell he doesn't compromise so you're going to pay whatever he says.

He went through an entire set of rally gauges for another guy I heard it cost about 1200 bucks.

So did you have a standard gauge cluster?   Thanks for the information!   :banana:

That is going to look fantastic when installed!  Very cool!   :banana:

For anyone with standard gauges, Redline has a tach and oil pressure gauge that looks perfect in the cluster.  I had this swapped out in my '71 Challenger and am planning on doing it for the Cuda.

Redline also makes a GPS Speedo that looks stock too.

Here are a few pics.  They didn't repaint my gauges besides the tachometer and the needles. I did pay to have the gauges cleaned and the plastic bezel polished.  Not sure how much it cost to have the plastic bezel polished but I think I could have done a better job than they did as I did have to take it off and redo it.  They left residue and smudges and I just polished it out better to my liking.
