You guys may want to check out Speedhut gauges, They are made in US and can be customized to your taste. They also offer a GPS speedo. JBL
Yep!
That is who I went with. I can't wait to share pictures of the result, but as most of you know the gauges will not go in until the ending phases of my LS3 conversion.
I can show you guys the panel that Paul from Myrtle made though. While it was not what I was expecting, it is pretty nice, and it was worth 200GBP:
You can also see the custom trim piece they made for the 'radio delete' mod I will be doing. I was gonna unveil that later.
Here is a view of it with the gauges Paul had lying around. I decided not to buy these, though the price was right at 550 GBP:

Man those white rimmed gauges look great EXCEPT for the white rim. I'd think that would be easy to tape off and paint a satin black. Those gauges look like they belong. What are they out of? (I have to say, I actually PREFER the drum style engine gauges. Much more "vintage" looking and just different. Every car has round gauges. That said...maybe the stock stuff wouldn't work with the Chevy anyway?)

The picture is misleading of those gauges. I thought the bezels were white too; they're not. It is just an artifact of the flash I think. The actual color is a satin silver. It is also hard to tell in the picture, but the faces are Jaguar Green.
Paul had those custom made by a pretty well known shop in the UK: Speedy Cables
They have a pretty nice 'design your own gauge' app on that site.
Paul had his made for another restoration that he no longer does and is selling them at the cost he paid Speedy.
If you're in the US, I think Speedhut's digital stepper ones have more customization options and are a bit cheaper.

its been a little while now, did you fit these in the end? did the veneer stay attached? I have read a lot lately about myrtle products cracking and delaminating after just long enough to be out of warranty
