Does anyone here have any recommendations? Specifically, I’m looking for: … A complete cosmetic and mechanical restoration … 12V conversion … Amp meter converted to volt w/ matching artwork A shop that could also restore the mechanical clock would be a bonus. I appreciate your help!

I just checked to have the ones from my 51 serviced as original and the quote was 3-5 hundred for a cosmetic re-do and repairs if needed are extra other than lubing the speedometer. Steve D

That being the case I would ask for some previous customers for references. https://dandmrestoration.com/services/clusters/ Also as a VCCA member you might want to check with the Tech advisor listed in the G&D or contact Dave Sylvain who has been writing restoration tips in the G&D and also has a restoration shop.
