Just ordered a set. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=1027/category_id=679/mode=prod/prd1027.htm

Will be sent in 3-4 weeks.I didn't like the color combos, so I special ordered. I wanted black face gauges, with blue background light, and a RED pointer.
(unfortunately white during the day, but RED at night!)

The person that I talked to was VERY knowledgeable, and addressed my concerns promptly!
Said that no one had wanted that option before, was able to get it done for me!

WoW! GREAT customer service! Had to pay an extra few bux, not much. VERY Helpful! - even gave me tips on using it with HellCrate engine.
I was extremely impressed!

Can't wait to see the gauges!

Still cheaper than sending my gauges out for rebuild, and modern. Pretty close to stock look? I guess we will see.

I was impressed, though.

VERY COOL PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH! that's all.

Never thought much about the needles not being red. I was not to worried about that when I ordered mine for my G3 swap in my 74 challenger. I just got mine Friday and here is a picture. Hope to put them in in the next few weeks. Please post a picture for us to check them out.

I love how they printed yours and the orange needles, why ALL of the E Body ones aren't done like that is beyond me :drunk:

I am going to eventually buy a DD gauge cluster and when I do I will ask for the Crash mod. I believe he said it cost an extra two bills.

Definitely the way to go if you have a rallye cluster.

Looks great.  Should of passed on restoring my gauges and bought a set of these.  I still like the factory rallye gauges if you have a set, but for 1k all new gauges, good deal.  Does you use your original wood grain cover and your original plastic cover?

Thanks Brad, I though I'd lost my marbles, well I did to post it there

Yes it's a direct bolt in, no mods required as such, I did have to relieve the back side of the bezel I purchased but it was a repop so I can't speak for an OEM unit

What do people think of this render I had Dakota draw up? Trying to get the clock a little closer to OEM, but they say they can only use white needles on the clock.
