What a perfect time to look through my "1986 Pontiac Firebird Owners Manual." I found a page that had gauges and stuff on it, and I was woundering if it was posible to make white face gauges out of these, I have a 140km/h speedo (85mph) and the big Fuel gauge, No Tach, etc. Just lights.

So is it possible to make white face gauges out of these? i am gonna try!

 

and this big fuel gauge.

 

I'm gonna fix them up a bit and resize them in photoshop, What size are the gauges in my car? 4 inch?

 

TTT, Fixed it up a bit,

 

out of curiosity, how come you're not going to use mike's premade templates?

 

Because Mike Key does not have white face gauge overlays for the dummy gauge cluster that only has 2 gauges, The 85mph Speedo, and the Big fuel gauge.

 

ohh, gotcha

 

I would completely redo the fonts and the speedo ticks, simply because they're a bit too distorted...you have Photoshop, so it should be easy.

 

I was bored so I redid the speedo. Tell me what you think. Working on the gas gauge now.

 

lookin good, thanks.

 

LOL, I get a lot of my ideas while on the thrown, at least I hope that was where you were.

Flight attendant: Would you like that in the can?

Clark: (glances to the back of the plane) No that's ok, I'll have it right here.

Sure why not, they are very.. umm.. BOLD

 

hhmmm how does that work?

 

they're not bad, but i think i'd change them to a different color, and maybe thin the lines a bit, they are, bold, and skinnier couldn't hurt. also a custom color would look sweet. so you guys just print these bad boys out and stick 'em in your dash like a white gauge face? do you have them laminated or anything like that? i think in the future i will make some(not for my 'bird, black on black on black interior) but when i do i think i'll run them down to kinko's and have them slap some plastic on there. anyone thought of selling these on ebay? after all, white gauge faces can cost well over 100 dollars.

 

Hey I have the two main guages and dummy lights too! I want white guages for my 84 Firebird!

 

I have the big fat fuel guage and speedometer. Dat's all folks. It may attempt to make my own guages. I have my cluster out at the moment. may be a good time to scan the faces.

 

Hey I downloaded the ones from pennyless's site, the 105mph speed and i made it so its like a 85 (bit more) but i think the lines all line up, i have them inb my car now!!!

Looky, (please dont get mad at me mike) lol.

 

I was gonna keep on going with the mph and **** but i dont knwo what font you used????

 

Laminating them would be cool, but I think you wouldnt be able to see them very good if the direct sun was on them, or someones headlights? I dont know?

 

I yeah.,... I broke my fuel gauge needle... not the need but a piece broke off of the main black piece, like one side of it. It flew somewhere in my car, i am gonna find it, then super glue it back on. And when i put my needle back on, set it on a quarter of a tank. All went good tell i turned my car on and then the needle went to full! WTF? Is it because the needle in unbalanced??

Thanks.!

 

Yes I was on the can. LoL, Perfect time to read stuff.

 

Woops I mean this on is in my car, the one posted above is the wrong one!

 

I scanned my fuel Gauge to make a beter white face. I need to make it look like my speedo but i dought i can do that since mike key is a pro lol.

 

i dont see how your suppostu make the lines at the right angle and ****...
