Darrell Arnold from Georgetown, Ky needed a quick turnover to convert his 1969 Mustang Mach 1 tach and gauge cluster to a 1969 Shelby tach and Gauge cluster.  Since H&H Auto has been authorized service since 1979 we were ready for the challenge and turned it over quickly.  Her is what Darrell had to say when he received his 1969 Mustang Shelby Cluster: Gary,  I had to chase the UPS man down today and got my instrument bezel.  I was truly amazed at the job you have done.  So far on this project, you are the only one that has done exactly what you said you were going to do in a timely manner and I really appreciate this.  I will be contacting you soon so you can restore the clock side of the dash.  Thank's Darrell.   Below are some pictures of our restoration of Darrell's 1969 Mach 1 cluster to a 1969 Shelby cluster.

  Doug Pifer, from Palestine, Il. had H&H Auto restore his 1969 Road Runner dash cluster  and switch panel.  As you can see by the switch panel this is a convertible complete with 4 speed transmission.  Doug has this to say about his restoration:  Wonderful job that looks like it did in 1969.  I sent the tach back to Gary because I reversed the leads on the back of the tach and shorted his new solid state tach board.  Gary repaired it the same day and shipped it back to me immediately.  I asked him if there was a charge for my blowing up the tach circuit and Gary said "No Charge."  Folks, what more would you want?
Thanks,  Doug.  What is important to H&H auto is your satisfaction.  That's what you'll get when you send your instruments to the "Tachman.  Click and see our Mopar instrument restorations!
 
 
 

Ron Gregory from Raleigh, N.C. (just a short hop up the road from our shop in Greer, S.C.) had this to say about the restoration of his 1969 Mustang Shelby G.T 500 convertible instrument cluster and clock Housing:  In the world of instrument restoration, it is difficult to find another craftsman with the knowledge, skill and integrity of Gary, "The Tachman."  From our very first conversation to the day that he and Vanessa (Tachwoman) personally delivered my completed gauges, Gary guided and kept me informed through the entire process.  He never over promised, but definitely over delivered the finished product.  As shown in the pictures below, Gary's attention to detail in absolutely concourse level.  The man is a fanatic.  I offer you the following proof: I had purchased a converted 69 Shelby 140 speedometer from an Bay seller.  When Gary saw the speedometer, he said no way was this unit going into any car he was associated with or restoring because of poor art work and graphics.  So, he refaced the speedometer to his level of workmanship at no added cost to me!  This is the kind of man I want to do business with.  At any price, you cannot make someone care.  Gary cares!  I am  more than glad to say that it's not just my opinion regarding Gary's work.  Every person in the shop ( Baltimore, Maryland by the way my home state as well) who saw the gauges were just blown away.  I would not hesitate to recommend Gary's to anyone.  If you want the best instrument service available, Gary the "Tachman" is the person you have to turn too!  My dad is sending his 1962 T-bird cluster for him to restore in the near future!

Brad Hood from Indiana had his 1969 Corvette console gauges and clock restored by the Tachman and here is what he had to say: Gary, they look great! The attention to detail is above and beyond the call of duty!  Now, I am going to send my Tachometer and Speedometer for the same restoration and he did! Check out  and see the difference quality makes. Thanks, Brad!
  
Gary Hoffman of Gladstone, Oregon had this to say about the "Tachman's" restoration of his 1981 Corvette instruments in white and his speedometer conversion to 140 mph: Gary, we just got them in yesterday and we have taken them to all the restoration shops in the area to show them off.  We want everyone to see the magnificent job you did on these gauges.  The 140 speedo conversion was a big surprise because I did not even know that could be done! All the mechanics are scared to install them because they don't want to damage  the gauges! Thanks so much!!

Arild Thu of Sumas, Wa, owns a 1968 Shelby KR 500 Convertible.  Unfortunately, his car caught fire and burned up the instrument cluster.  He considered throwing the speedo and tach away because he thought they could not be saved, but then he found the "Tachman" at H&H Auto.  Here are Mr. Thu's comments: Gary, I received the speedo and tach and can't believe the beautiful job you did.  To think I was going to throw them out believing they were unsaveable.  You truly are a master of your craft.  Thanks again, Arild.  The "Tachman" can.
The Tachman was featured in the July, 2008 issue of "Mustang Monthly" (page 28)  concerning Mr. Thu's restoration of his 1968 GT 500 "King of the Road" rag top! The Tachman is authorized Ford/Mustang instrument repair/ restoration service and can do the same for you.  Check out www.tachman.com/ford.htm and see why the "Tachman" is the name you can depend on!

Chris Dudley from KC'S Classic Cars in Bradenton, FL was working on a 1969 Mach 1 Mustang with the non tach dash, which has 3 gauges, oil pressure, temperature and fuel.  Chris sent me the gauges to be repaired and purchased the Tachman"s solid state voltage limiter. I received the gauges and all they needed was calibration as they were not burned out.  Chris then received the gauges and the solid state limiter.  He had a mess of a time on his hands because when he installed the good gauges, they did not work.  Chris called me and said the limiter LED on the limiter was not lighting up.  Why?  because the solid state limiter looks for safe conditions before it starts to output the 5 volts to the gauges.  Chris found out  the gauges were grounded through the starting system.  The point is this: if Chris would not have installed our 5 volt regulator and used the factory unit, all 3 gauges would have burned out because they were grounded.  Chris said if he had not installed the solid state 5 volt limiter from H&H Auto, he would have burned out his second set of gauges.  These gauges are expensive to rebuild and difficult to find these day! Chris thanked me for the professional technical assistance and of course, THE SOLID STATE LIMITER!

Eddie Fernandez, a dedicated police officer in New Jersey, had this to say about the Tachman's restoration of his  Mustang Shelby instrument cluster with N.O.S housing:  Hello, Gary I just returned from the shop where my Mustang is being restored.  I dropped off the cluster and I am happy to report it was a home run. The guys at the shop loved your work and were amazed with the attention to details.  Just want to thank you for the outstanding job and helping me make the right choices.  Eddie is going to the Shelby convention in October and expects to win 1st place.  If you saw the car and Eddie's dedication to detail I know he will win! Eddie asked me if it was ok to place a small sign next to the car stating "Restorations by the Tachman.com.  Eddie was almost talked out of sending his cluster to me by a friend who had been ripped off by another restoration shop.  Well, now the friend wants to send his cluster to me! When it comes to Mustang cluster restorations the staff at H&H Auto will do our best to make your dream come true!
