These would be nice, almost look factory but would have to be more accurate!

so they don't appeal to European taste or just you specifically? I think they have a certain "Classic Hot Rod" look which is probably an American thing...

Well , personnely I don't like them so much and secondly , it is commonly known that they are diferences in taste and opinion and so on between different cultures.What a good thing is BTW.
I must say that the americans built beautiful cars till the end of the 70's. From then on , it went worse till begin 2000 .IMHO.

I also must say that I have a set of PRO COMP ULTRA-LITE gauges laying around ready to be mounted in a new dash bezel for my fastback.
I like the racy style .FWIW

Yeah their website states that they were designed based off the 67/68 mustang gauges. Definitely more accurate, odd gauge size though (4 3/8"). Wish they had some illuminated pics like they do of the Redline series. I kinda like the Redlines myself.

I checked out the website, I like those. Prices aren't bad either.

Thanks to those that like my set-up and no offense at all taken for those who don't like the look. I went for a look that appealed to me and like where I ended up. To each their own, right. I will say, I like those Redlines too. Anybody have any experience with that manufacturer? The thing about mine was I knew they were very high quality gauges first that had the look I wanted second. Cool gauges that don't do their job aren't so cool!

I was trying to avoid a discussion as to which is better, this the Ford Chevy thing.

I still do not wish to entertain that discussion. I think Classic puts out a nice product. I was not impressed enough to put them in my cars, I used JME's clusters.

I like the billit bexel JME has as well for the 65 that is in my car and for the 67, which was not available when I put my set together.

Now, what I was getting at was indeed the quality of the cluster not the gauge. I don't really want to debate quality of gauges because I am happy with autometer and in the old days I used SW exclusively! They were almost always mechanical and never failed me.

Autometer for my applications are just fine.

Now I will not bad mouth or downgrade Classic's product, just will say that I prefer JME's product.

I don't know how much more diplomatic I can be.
