Turn around time is typically 2-3 days.

These are FourBlade's gauges that I just restored. Finding the polished aluminum bezels took way longer than 2-3 days, but well worth the wait. These will look good at night.







Awesome look! May have to,send mine back for a refit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I sent Tim the rusty and nasty old tach and speedo that came with my car originally.

He made them look brand new again.

Better than new with the chrome bezels! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Can't wait to get them installed.

He cheerfully took care of all my special requests.

Is there anyway to change the RPM range on the face to 10,000 ? I am doing a sbc 283 build with a red line of around 9-9500 and would love to keep the stock gauges.

I'm interested in your service but didn't see the link for the name of your company,where you're located etc.

I'm offering a service to retrofit the backlighting on your gauge cluster. I will sell DIY kits for $200.00, which will include the RGB led strips, controller/remote, and wire needed to install this into your car.

Full service is also available for $300.00. I will do all the labor with installing these LED's, paint the needles and do other cosmetic work which also includes replacing the plastic lenses with glass (if needed). For an extra 100 dollars, I will convert your tachometer to a modern air core servo tach that will work with any 4,6 or 8 cylinder engines.

Some sample backlight colors you can choose with a simple push of a button on the remote control.









Below is a video showing some extra features that the controller can do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byh23MwiMLY


All the gauges illuminate red when the gas gauge gets too low. There is also a tachometer sensing circuit in the controller, that will change the background color at different RPM's (you tell me what RPM's, I then calibrate the controller to your settings)

I can't believe I hadn't posted about my experience here yet!

Tim worked closely with me to develop a gauge set that would work with my Subaru conversion.

Not only was I able to keep the clean stock look of the dash, but it ended up being significantly less expensive than buying new aftermarket gauges!

Now I also have very brightly lit gauges that transition to from white to bright red as I pass into the powder band. It makes driving at night even more enjoyable!

Saw a set of your gauges auctioned off at WCR; they looked awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Hi, was wondering....do you sell replacement glass?
I need one of the 60mm for my volt meter.
Thanks...Terry.

Hello Tim!
AWESOME Gauge Lighting! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
I would love for you to do this to mine!
Question, can you also correspond my aftermarket (vdo's) head temp, oil pressure, and voltage gauges to change with the main gauges, that would be too cool!
Also, is there any way to make the spedo brighter? That's my main problem (tickets) never have problems knowing when to shift. just knowing when to let up off the skinny pedal on the right!
Although, do have tendencies to blow up these engines, can you red adjust the head temp gauge?
I've already gone thru these gauges & replaced lenses to glass and everything else I could think of.
Just tell me where to send them, how much it will be and what type of payment your preference is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Thank's
Bonnie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Tim, got to see your work in person at Okteenerfest. The gauges you donated as a raffle prize were absolutely gorgeous, and I'm not the only one that was drooling over them. Absolute works of art!

If I didn't need brakes more than gauges at the moment I would be sending my gauges to you instead of ordering calipers from PMB (since I didn't win THAT raffle, either)... but your gauges are next on my list!

Thanks for the generous donation!

Meant to send this to you. This is what your entry box looked like after just the first few hours of entries!

This set that Timmothy made was waiting for me when I got home from Octeenerfest. I opened the box at the shop and the guys assumed I had spent $1,500 at North Hollywood.

I didn’t win the pmb raffle either but luckily, Eric makes thes available to everyone. They were also waiting for me when I got home. The front already has a set of pmb M calipers.
