    SP4SPD Slideways in the streets!

    I used these guys 20+ years ago for my radio bezel. They did nice work then, looks like they still do!
    I didnt realize they were still in business.

    Looks great, AL!

    That's literally one third of the price Instrument Specialties charges and they actually source stuff out.

    Very nice. My parts are being done by a place in Washington. Through much research I was able to find out the these guys have been doing the actual work for most of the restoration places here on the West Coast. I sent them a lot of parts including an instrument bezel. Radio knobs and escutcheons etc.

    That argent/silver gray on the 69 parts I think is what most guys seem to get wrong. I have my fingers crossed.

    Very happy to see it worked out for you. While most of my experiences having these parts restored have been great, the ones that went bad have been very frustrating to say the least.

    Marc.

    I should see if they have a quantity break - I probably have 6-8 bezels w/no cracks/broken tabs, etc. (if anyone needs one, lmk).

    If you need to do any gauges I highly recommend Red Line Gauge Works.
    They really know their stuff.

    I know about the lens selection, went with the early 70 because of the early font.

    The transfer just setting there, have not installed them permanently, the section just punch out.. just given an idea on the finish.

    Ohhh....

    Are those the nice new repros from Mark Wajda? The set I got from him had the holes already exposed and the fit and design is absolutely amazing.

    100% the best woodgrain available for us now.

    The wood grain in the picture I posted was of a set I bought from Greg over 30 years ago. At the time was the best. I bought a set from Mark and are of high quality!
