These guys can help you out, dont cut up an original.

 

I think they make one that fits the Model A. Ask around.

I'm pretty sure Speedway has what you are looking for in steel and glass, just saw them in my new "street machine" catalog. They're 32 style for A's

 

thanx for the help but u guys really think re-pop is the way to go im building a 50 traditional hot rod very i mean very few re-pop parts i did think of a re-pop dash cuz i kinda like the smooth look and the option of puting in my own gauge pattern.. will a re-pop hurt my value on car it is the mane thing too look at inside the car?

 

If your only concern is the resale value, then you shouldn't be building it. By that I mean you are never gonna make
back what you put into it.

 

The reproduction Brookville dash would the be way to go,the closed car dash's would have to be heavily modified and really wouldn't look right plus the Brookville dash has been manufactured to fit a 30/31 roadster body. HRP

 

Then you could put one of these in your 32 style dash, IF you can find one.

 

That's a good looking pierce arrow dash.$$$$$$$$$$$

 

And there is one of these Pierce Arrow dashes for sale here on the HAMB NOW !!!

 

Here ya go....

The Pierce Arrow one for sale now is a repro casting made my Alchemy. It is a work of art.

 

Slightly off topic to your original question (this is '32 dash in '32) but I saw this at LARS and really liked it.

who said i was gona sell?? but it is a big investment u never know...ok thanks guys for all ur help one last thing with that brookville dash am i goin to need the top rail..and if i do will a 29 coupe dash rail fit in the 31 roadster....thanx

 

Only 30 and 31 roadster dash rails will fit a 31 roadster.

 

thanks, im guessing it will be needed? i could allways find out when ordering the dash....

 

hey charlie is that a stewart warner?

 

The gauges are. The insert, I believe is a GMC commercial truck or Chris Craft boat dash.

 

Here's mine

Sorry that I don't know who made the dash. I just saw the dash and was so impressed that I photographed it.

I found this one on eBay. Sw gauges with some aluminum bezels. Sorry the pic is so dark.
