Please post pics of firebirds and t/a's with white faced guages. You don't see many of them on here, mostly camaro's.

Thanks

I scanned in all the gages and I traced them in CorelDRAW!!!. If you have Coreldraw I can e-mail you the drawings, unfortuantely I had the 85mph & 120mph speedos done but they got erased.

If you look closely I also made all the numbers in the same Font as the FORMULA on my doors. Had to make the font.

I printed them out on some yellow cover paper that happened to exactly match the color of my car.

Took some .040 or .060 plexiglas and made clear back plates. In the daytime they look absolutely GREAT!, but at night they are a little spotty, I am still working on improving them. I sandblasted the plastic, in the back and it helped about 50% better, but I am still looking to improve them

Man John, that seems complicated, I Don't have a computer or anything, just lousy webtv. But they look great on your car! Maybe one day I can figure out how to do it.
Take care man
