New Vintage USA gauges? '63 Tempest
 
Does anyone have any thoughts/comments on gauges from New Vintage USA? Website is here: http://www.newvintageusa.com/

I'm getting ahead of myself on the project, but was thinking about the interior of my '63 Tempest. I want to keep a relatively factory look, and have been considering what I'm going to do about gauges.

The factory dash has a gauge pod that will fit 4 round gauges of 3 & 3/8'' diameter. Factory gauges include a speedo and gauges for fuel level and charging. The fourth hole is a blank. Oil pressure and coolant temp have idiot lights. I decided I'd pull the factory gauges and fit the gauge pod with aftermarket gauges. Looking around for awhile, I found tachs and speedos in 3 & 3/8'' diameter (and 4-function combo gauges - which I don't like the look of), but not much else...

Then, I found New Vintage USA. They make 2-in-1 combo gauges (one guage for both water temp and fuel level, and one for both oil pressure and volts) in 3 & 3/8'' diameter. I could stick a pair of these + tach and speedo all in the dash. They are a little pricey.

Just wanted to see if anyone had any reviews, or knew of other options for this size of gauge.
