'61 Instrument Cluster Rebuild/Restore

[Mike M.]

I am going to restore a '61 that I recently have taken possession of. It is a 327/340hp 4 speed car. It is in pretty good shape. I plan to take it off the frame. Originally black it in white now but will be taken back to it's original color. I would imagine that the instrument cluster needs to be restored . Can you folks direct me to a vendor that does this type of work? Thanks,
Mike

Bill Harrison did the cluster on the 1960 during restoration. The cluster and gauges looked great and price was reasonable.

OOooops!

Anyway, in case you haven't done one before, here is a 'how to' on removing a C1 dash cluster I collaborated on with Joe Fisher on another forum.
Get yourself a steering wheel puller and some clutch-head screwdrivers before you start
