Default C-2 Gauge,Clock and Radio Resto

Where is the best and most economical place to have my gauge cluster, clock and radio revamped. I would possibly like to have the faces rescreened also and the tach converted to electric. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Fred Z.

I used Rogers Clock. They did a really good job on my 64 cluster, total restore. They rework all the gauges and reface everything. Price was a bit high. That was about 3 years ago. Since then I found another guy, you might want to call, Joe Ray Corvette Parts. You can Google him and see what he says. Good luck.

He did all my gauges and my clock. Everything looked perfect. Also helped me with some tips and paint advice on restoring the actual gauge cluster. This was relatively easy, if you messed it up...strip the paint off and try again.

Jerry's been busy. I just got my radio back from him on Monday. I agree with the above and would highly recommend him. Jerry did great work, communication outstanding, prices reasonable.

Last year I had my cluster restored by Corvette Specialties of Maryland. I would recommend them.

Radio - Jerry as other say. Cleaned it up, tuned it up and replaced a handful of old capacitors then added the iPOD connector in the very back... A1 service and great communication before and even after.

Cluster and Clock - Dick at Va Vettes took care of it for me... Was about three months ago - quick turn around - fair price and great communications.
