Looking for suggestions as where to send my gauge cluster to have it redone. It needs a rechrome and the wood grain replaced. Also what to expect as far as cost and turn around time.
Peter G sells nice repops unless you need the gauges re calibrated.His 67 - 69 Dart pieces are far superior to the originals which never lined up properly.
Nice originals all but impossible to find.
Those old circuit boards and pins get brittle with age. These guys @ Charger Specialties have the best prices for the same product which they market everywhere. $99.- for both brand new dodge charger and mopar restoration parts- Pahrump, NV

Always glad to help. I have repaired/re-soldered those dam pins, I am never happy with the results. So, I spent the money and never looked back!I had no idea anyone repopped the circuit boards. A little spendy, but I spent about 6 hours on mine reinforcing the pins with brass brads and resoldering them. So that's a good option. Thanks for posting it.

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.Thanks for the advice. I was concerned about not having it look chrome if I were to attempt a repaint.
