I like the retro idea. This is one of the projects I'm considering in the future. I dunno id photoshop's the tool you want. There's another adobe tool that does vector graphics.. can't remember the name, but publishers use it.

EDIT: Illustrator® CS

Another place to look is people that know autocad. That seems like a good tool to draw up somehting like this. (haven't used either in years though).

I could draw both of those up in about 5 minutes if i had the correct diameter measurements and the spacing on the numbers...print it out on any color stickyback paper and you could stick it to your speedo...if anybody is interested i could make several of them and even different designs

you'll regret those words!

edit: I want a gauge that looks like my colorform face (see left). That would be hot.

i think this is the closest dimension.
so how much are you going to charge?
is it just P/S or final product?

i can use that to get the dimensions but i need the outside diameter of that so that i can scale it to the proper size

i can work out prices as soon as i get a price on a good quality stickyback paper to use and a number of people interested

start a list here or pm me if you are interested and tell me the kind of design that you would like. include pics that i can use as a reference or if there are any graphics that you would like on it
