Preserving the Soul of Your Interior
The dashboard and gauges are the heart of your classic car’s interior—they’re what you see every time you drive, and they’re a key part of the vehicle’s identity. At Lost in Time Restorations in Eugene, Oregon, our Vintage Dashboard & Gauge Restoration service brings these elements back to their original beauty and function.
We restore faded, cracked, or worn dashboards and refurbish gauges to their factory appearance while ensuring accurate, reliable operation. Whether you want a period-correct restoration or subtle modern enhancements, every detail is handled with care to honor the heritage of your classic.
Detail-Oriented Restoration with Modern Precision
Our process begins with a full assessment of your dashboard’s condition, identifying any structural repairs, refinishing, or re-covering needed. We carefully strip and restore surfaces, replicate original textures and colors, and ensure all trim, bezels, and accents are reinstalled to exact fit.
Gauges are disassembled, cleaned, and recalibrated. Damaged faces are refinished or reproduced, needles are restored or replaced, and internal mechanisms are repaired to ensure precise readings. For owners seeking added functionality, we can discreetly integrate modern internals into original housings—giving you the accuracy of today’s instruments with the style of yesterday.
