Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Just thought I would post a few pics of my latest board member cluster projects.

These belong to GMan and Hart_Rob.
GMan has the clock in the center and Hart_Rob has the fuel gauge (man am I jealous of that gauge)

GMan built his, and I wired it up for him.
Rob sent me the gauges and I have gone from there.

I can't wait to see both of these clusters installed!

Sweeeeet:metal: . Is the clock an Autometer?

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Very nice work - makes me wonder if I should have installed mine from behind like you have done here - really looks great.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Putter -- it looks BADA$$!!! I can't wait to get that thing mounted. Maybe it is the motivation I need to get started on my 5.3/4L60E swap:) .

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

In a word...NO.

BUT....(and you knew there was a but...) GMan printed a color photo from the Autometer website and took it to a local college instructor who does some mighty fine print work. He fashioned a clock face as close to the layout of Autometer as possible. The colors are really close, as are the numerals. I think he got the look he wanted.
Then he printed the "face" on high quality stock and applied it over a Monte Carlo clock. And it fits like a glove!

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

He should sell his clock decals on the board. Great idea!

Putter,

Do you think that would work on a Phantom 3 3/8 oil press/H20 temp gauge?

Looking forward to seeing picture of the Fuel Press guage.

:agree:

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

:agree: i am jealous i want gages like that

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Those look fantastic.

Was the printed clock face screen printed, lazer printed, or some other form?
Was it printed on paper or vinyl?

Thanks

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Wow, sweet work! If it's not to rude... what are those set-up costing.

(D)

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Just using my own as a go-by, including all 7 gauges, the new bezel, wiring, etc... I personally spent well over $600 on mine.

I have no idea what GMan or Hart_Rob gave for their gauges.

I think GMan's clock was printed on heavy gloss-coated stock (photopaper, maybe?) I see no reason it couldn't be printed on other types like vinyl.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Those look sweet

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

I ended up m aking my own dash/cluster! Heres a couple shots

Looks Sweet Putter!

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

heres mine. those look real nice. im jealous of that fuel guage myself. need to find one but they are rarer than hens teeth. :whine:

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Putter good work!!!!!!!!

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Nice job guys. That was some creative thinking for the clock work.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Whoa...those look awesome! So what's the deal with the fuel gauge? Has it been discontinued? If so, what size is available now? After seeing this I bet you are ready Rob....:metal:

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Maaaan, they both look sweet...I love them!

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Nice really nice. I am doing a custom "glovebox" panel for my jimmy. Lots of good info.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

THis is what I had in my old 68. I will probably build somethimg similar to it for the Blazer, with no so many gauges this time (no air ride).

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Nice work! I hope my cluster comes out that nice :cool:

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

PIMP PIMP! Wow.. Im glad im part of this site for when I get to do this...

And PROPS on ALL the setups!

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Not to hijack, but I really like your setup FuelCellGuy, I am planning on making my bezel and glove box door out of billet aluminum also. Do you have any more pics of yours? Thanks.

Re: Autometer Cluster Projects
 

Actually, all the Autometer ProComp "Monster" gauges (3-3/8" black faced) are discontinued.
Now you just have to find a shop that has one remaining in stock....which is easier said than done.
Occasionally, you can find one or two on E-bay, but you have to be exxxxtremely lucky to get a fuel gauge.
Many props go to DJRacer for pointing Rob and myself to a couple of gauges. (Technically, I LET Rob get the fuel gauge....I took the oil pressure gauge instead :rolleyes: )
