How were those white gauges printed and on what? I drew up some of those gauges on autoCAD a few years ago. They looked fantastic, but with the concaved guages, I wasn't sure how to go further. I even recalculated the MPH to read correctly for my 86 Shelby Charger since the speedometer was off nearly 2-3 percent. I never did make the tachometer CAd picture. I guess after doing the far right gauge, I figured anything would be super easy. That gauge was a challenge and really honed my CAD skills. (Which are next to none)
I had added extra MPH similar to the pictures up above and had different wording in the center like "GLH-S, or Shelby or Turbo GLH. Also used a Mopar looking font for everything.

That sounds cool man. I was thinking of doing up my own custom gauges for my spare gauge cluster using Corel Draw. I took apart the gauge cluster and had the same question as you... what to print them on that would form fit to the concave shape? At first I was thinking vinyl with a heat gun, or perhaps some water slide decal paper?!?! And help here for the printed material?

yea the paper didnt work out it bubbled horribly, anyone have any ideas?

i really like those white faces up there and might would buy some but i completely redesigned the guages and they look pretty awesome. i just have to figure out how and what to print them on, why cant our guages just be flat lol

i used photoshop adobe FTW! lol
