“Corvette dash, gauge, and instrument cluster restoration and rebuilding is an art.”
Sit behind the wheel of your Corvette and try to not look at the gauges. It’s impossible! The instrument cluster and gauges are typically the first thing a driver sees when he gets in the driver’s seat. Unfortunately there are many details that are often overlooked during the restoration of a Corvette dash cluster, but you won’t find that here! We have over four decades of experience to ensure you will not only have a beautiful cosmetic restoration, but also a proper mechanical restoration for your instruments to function and perform as intended. Inside and out, Corvette Specialties of MD West will see that no details are overlooked!
Many vendors offer restoration services for your prized components, but few actually perform the services on-site. When considering where to send your prized possessions, be sure to ask “Where are the services being performed?”. You can be certain our services are performed in our own facility.
