White Faced Gauge overlays

[streetstang67]

I was thinking about getting some white faced gauge overlays for my '67. For one, it looks good, but not too modern; it also will hopefully make them easier to read b/c the dash lights aren't so bright. So where is the best place to order them from? I was something that looks original, just white faced instead of black. Any other suggestions while the dash is apart?

Thanks

I can't find the website where I originally got mine, but here is a site that sells em for $15.

Those look too cheap for me...not cheap, but modern. The font used doesn't look like the original to me. Where can I get a classic looking overlay?

The font on them looks pretty original to me.

If you want to find more just do a search on google for "1967 Mustang white face overlays".

How hard are they to install?

Is there anything else I should do while the dash is apart...any common problems to fix before they happen, any easy modifications?

Extremely easy to install. On the instructions that I had, they told me to pain the original gauges white so that none of the stock black shows through. You don't have to though, if you do a very good job at covering them. Other than that, you just clean the surface and apply the overlays. They are about as sticky as a bumper sticker.

I don't know anything you could do while the dash is apart. Anything you want to do, I guess. You could remove your stock "bluish-green" bulb covers and make the gauges light up white, like I did. Mustangs Unlimited also sells new bulb covers that light up red and yellow. You could do that.

Oh, one thing I highly recommend is painting you gauge needles flourecent orange. Really makes them stand out and they look great.
