white faced guages

well i started on my white face guage do it yourseflfer today ...on a 91 spirit r/t cluster..i think i may have broke it really good.lol...when i was prying off the needle for the speedo..it broke so now it must be replaced..i seen some needles that glow diferent colors on here once ill have to find those again..and when i pryed off the tach needle some little l shaped piece of metal came rolling out from somewhere...i have no idea where it goes...so alas i think i messed up...my scanner must really suck too cause the scan im trying to work with is soo pixalated its rediculous to work with...bla

The only thing I could suggest is to visit your friendly junk yard, since I don't know if the stealership could even get them without buying a whole new guage package. They don't call them stealerships for nothing.

Who makes the white guage faces for our cars or did you make them yourself?

making them myself on my computer...i only have photoshop 2 right now and it is seriously limiting me..im going to try and find 5 or higher then i can really get crazy with them

yes sir those be da ones...kinda expensive but i suppose for the money im saving on doing my own white faces i can afford them..i like the green ones

...also is there anyone who has sucessfully installed these on say a 91' spirit r/t cluster

today i sucsessfully downloaded photoshop 7 so its time to go crazy with the custom guages..if anyone has any ideas of a guage face they might like let me know ..maybe i could design something youd like

Speaking of WFG's, Does anyone still have the ones that have 'Shelby' on them from a while back? I have the KM set but the disk with the MPH set went bad on me....

i could defineately do a set for you ..on the downside you would have to send me your guage cluster as the only template i have made up is for the spirit r/t..also i havent got a fully put together model yet.. i have been undecided about what design i want to use for mine so it is still incomplete..i am planning on maybe using that aftermarket thin wire light you can get at autozone possibly the blacklight variety so it shines the whole face white with black numbers...as for now i would bee willing to do this at no charge(just the white face not the lights) at least for anyone willing to send me there cluster so i can get a working template going after that i will probably only charge like 10 bucks seeings how it is not all to labor intensive.
here is a link of some neon wire like what i want to use

heres a sample ..spirit r/t

plain white face

those two are just rough samples i have a plethora of ideas , ram head, a couple different mopar performance ones, carol shelby logo, team omni, might even do a turbododge.com one..lol..like i said though i just got the photoshop and am still learning how to use it so i dont have many examples and what i do have will get better in time. i printed one up on some photopaper and it looks really good. the sheem of the paper is nice and color is crisp. i have yet to do one on sticker paper ..i think in the end that is probably what ill use just because it should last longer. maybe ill get lucky and the sticker paper will come with the photo paper quality face.

How would you get them to be visible at night? Arent the stock guages (in my 88 baron anyways) backlit? The light would need to come through some how. I may be wrong on the m being backlit.

i believe you're right they do look backlit thats why i came up with the idea of using the neon wire..i could run it around the inside edge of the guage and the blacklight would shine the face white..thats the idea anyway..i have a couple other ones i was thinking of in case i couldn't find the wire in blacklight..bigger blacklight shining through a small slot..and you never know it might even shine all the way through the paper but i doubt it..still havent finnished it all the way..i just now started working again
