Thanks for the advice. I was concerned about not having it look chrome if I were to attempt a repaint. I'm not sure if the gauges need recalibrating. Just paranoid about the oil pressure gauge being accurate. Is it worth getting the amp gauge changed out? My lights were flaky. There was one pin in the gauge side that had been repaired.
The chrome we can see in your pic still looks better than any fresh chrome paint will. I have to agree that the wood grain on the lower portion needs to go. That area can be recovered with a kit from DMT. No painting req'd.
Oil, temperature, and fuel are basic thermal range indicators. And all 3 of them run on the same voltage limiter. The amp gauge stands alone on 12 volts. A oil warning lamp operates on 12 volts.
If you want accuracy, oil pressure shown in p.s.i., temp shown in degrees, you're going to need different gauges with their matching senders.
