Re: GAUGE FACE FACE DECALS for 64 PLYMOUTH

[Schuyler Wrobel <sky62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I designed some white face gages, for Bob Asay's 64 dash, I printed  
them out on the bumper sticker
decal sheets I use. the real hard part was trying to stick down those  
decals on
the concave surfaces of the 64's gauges. most of them I had to cut in  
half so I
designed a graphic to cover the cut line. It actually turned out  
pretty good considering,
I had no idea what I was up against. and as long as the heat and  
other elements
don't cause the decals to start aging to quickly, it might be worth  
doing again.
what I also noticed about the original gauge surfaces as they appear  
to be brushed
aluminum, spun on like concentric circles, then dyed or painted with  
a transparent black,
which would give a iridescent look to the surface, then the #'s and  
letters or graphics
would be silk screen printed on last. let me know if anyone wants to  
see some pics,
I could send direct, or maybe Gary could post on the web site if he  
wants? probably
wont win any awards but they look ok.
