Big thank you John Bell for my quad gauge and....

Big thanks to John (jbell959). He built these gauges for me, to go into my 1975 911S Rat Rod. I designed them myself, with a lot of input from him. He rebuilt the speedo, and tach, refaced the clock, and custom built the quad gauge. I am prepping my car with the hopes of getting it to DRT at end of this month. John worked very fast, even overcoming problems that invariably come up on projects like this. I could not be happier. He is one guy doing this as a side project too, which I love.

I liked his work so much I sent another tach, and speedo to him to rebuild. Hope you don't mind the KUDOS John.

There are a few more....bottomline...he was great to deal with and did great work!

More pictures to come once I get the car out of the shop, and into the sunlight. These pictures don't do them justice at all....

That quad gauge is amazing. John has done a few gauges for me and it's always a first class experience working with him.

Those green gauges looks great. Love the custom tach. I just got mine installed from John also and went with early OEM style for my 3.6.

Love his stuff!

He did a custom set for me on my 1989 and he did a sympathetic restoration of the original gauges.
