GOODGUYS Goodtimes Gazette, July 1998 Issue

    For years rodders have been reaching for any one of several analog gauges to update their instrument cluster and while each of them ass their own particular style to the mix, none retain the "factory" look of the original panel they replace.

    Suddenly, from out of the crowd comes Custom Rod Gauges, a newly formed company with plenty of experience that specializes in great looking instrument clusters which integrate several VDO gauges beneath one common panel. This panel is embossed with the appropriate numbers or letters to give the dash a trick, yet original appeal for several applications, including those for ’55 - ’57 Chevy's, and ’39 – ’40 Fords with other variations currently under development.

    While their line of pre-made dash clusters make up a great deal of their market, Custom Rod Gauges is none for their spectacular custom gauge panels for special applications. Not only do these panels conform to the individual requirements of a particular car, they can also be color treated to blend with virtually any environment.

    While this kind of custom gauge treatment has been a long time coming, it was Marc at Custom Rod Gauges who brought them into being and made them affordable for every market. With years of experience in high advanced audio electronics and related forms of manufacturing, Marc was able to devise special methods to make the conversion straightforward, while rewarding to those searching for something special.

    Since their introduction this past year, Custom Rod Gauges has delivered literally hundreds of their panels to customers across the country and the glob, and from what they’ve been hearing from prospective customers, that number will soon be duplicated many times over.
