Anyone know where I can get the Gauge Overlay that they have in the BlackBird GMMG cars? Or something similar to it in any case?

Thanks,
Jon

Buy these Macewen gauge overlays:

Found at WS6store.com :

Plus bird/letter overlays from Brent Franker (check pm), and your final product will be this:


I hated the red illumination, so I did a gauge overlay conversion and went with the Camaro style for this:

how hard was it to do the conversion?

Fairly easy. I bought a Camaro cluster off eBay for $25.00, and used that overlay to stick on my stock cluster. Then, I bought white MacEwen gauges to go overtop. I can post pics of the process if you want.

i like the way the converison looks. i have been looking for something similar to the phantom IIs and i thin this is it. so you bought the camaro cluster or overlay?

LS1obsession

I bought the camaro cluster for the stock overlay to put the white MacEwen gauges overtop which would go on my stock t/a cluster by the red film on the t/a cluster.

I sent this to a member earlier today. I figured I'd post it for those who are curious about the conversion.

Here are pics of the gauge conversion:

Camaro cluster on left, t/a on right (had blue indiglo gauges, if you are interested in these let me know)






(here you can see the red dye on the back of the t/a cluster)


(installed camaro overlay onto t/a cluster)


(install white MacEwen gauges)


(final product, with installed decals)



As you see removal of needles are required, and once they are removed, they must be put on exactly as they came off or they will not be accurate. If you do not note the placement of the needles before hand, in order to make them accurate again you will need to have the cluster re-calibrated, or as I did, take photos of the cluster after the car has been warmed up, and also note where the RMP is in relation to MPH while driving, then use the photos to re-install the needles accurately. Also, I mentioned the blue indiglo gauges, which do not require removal of needles.
There is a member on here who used the indiglo gauges with a setup you are looking for. I will try to search and see if I can find his info.

thank you for the write up

trans-am nut

I just looked on brent's page but I didnt see the TRANS-AM lettering of the bird, can you point me in the right direction please, thanks. Eberything looks bad-***.

LS1obsession

The bird decal is half way down the page. As for the lettering, e-mail him and ask if he can make the Trans Am lettering for the gauges. That's what I did.

Got-DAYUM that's complicated looking $hit.
Check out my Firehawk page.
It's got step by step photos and you don't need so many extra parts...???

I know, all of that just to change the color of illumination.
Nice write-up BTW.
