I'm just a posting fiend today. I saw these gauges in the Ford Racing catalog. Kind of hard to see in the pic:

Here's a better one of just the tach (you have to buy it separate):

I think they're classy looking, in a roadster kind of way. I was planning on Autometer Ultralites for when I upgraded the dash. But now I'm not sure. Price is about the same. What do you think?

Makes me want to get started on my next project: a '32 Highboy with an early '50's flatty.

Black with yellow flames.

WOW! I actually like those more
than our autometers.
Two things.. I like our reverse speedo, and I
see that one only reads to 120.
Are they backlit?

Summit Racing has all the latest "vintage" looking gauges in packages as well....Most are Autometer I think.

I see that Shell Valley has one out but don't know anyone who's building one yet. There's so much available stuff, I may end up kitless. Right now I'm attracted to a classic look, flatty, nailhead, early hemi. Like something I would have built 50 years ago.
I'll post in OT and see if we get some traffic.

Since this thread has been hijacked, one of the premier makers of 32 kits is Brookville. All steel bodies. Not cheap though - the body and frame alone are $17K.

Tweeeeetttt!!!

Technical foul. Intentional thread hijack. You're penalized 10 posts.

Hulka - I'm not sure if they're backlit. I'd have to find out more. NAGA may have a point, though. They might be a little too "classic". Different is a good thing, though.

Those gauges are very sharp, I have them in my '34 pick-up, they are made by autometer for ford, and if you like those you need to see the black ones. There is a set with the same chrome bezels, but black background and white letters, those would be really sharp in an FFR.

Here it is.
