Does anyone have a pic of what the instrument cluster for a 69 charger should look like properly restored.  Iam trying to do a pebblegrain one now.
thanks

Chris will prolly come along with better pix. The top pic is missing the hazard switch.  The second one's been done and it has the switch.

Any idea how to replicate the chrome around the guages?   Does someone sell special paint for that?

Testor's sells a paint that's close.  I can't remember the color name.

I send mine to http://www.cvvacuumplaters.com/interior_parts.htm.  They charge about $130-150 and it comes out awesome.

someone here in England used a silver paint pen to do the round bits & writing, doesnt look too bad. No one in England does plastic re-chroming so we have to try all sorts of things.

The first pic is my dash when I painted the bezels silver.

The second pic is of the bezels rechromed & restored by Performance Car Graphics.

Stand in line behind Dan (8WHEELER) ;)

Actually that's originally found on '68 Coronet R/T's only.   I was able to find an NOS one about 7 years ago.
The 68 Chargers either got a bullseye or the triangle fratzog emblem in the center.

I kinda ruined it by chopping off the tabs that would retain it in the rectangular hole of a 68 dash bezel and used a bit of velcro to hold it on my 69 dash :wave:
