I picked up a 1934 5 window a few months back that has been sitting since the 60's. It had a custom dash in it that I'm not quite stoked on and I'm looking for either someones old custom dash that they swapped for a original or a good original to keep for the car. Everything I do in the interior I want to do white and chrome so I would like to do a chromed custom dash. thanks
Nice score on the car. Congrats. Find it in WA. ? My dash started similar to yours, all that was left was the top rail & sides, made a couple of simple bucks, rolled a channel for the bottom pieces. Never be good enough to chrome, but it'll work. Made the bezel too, cop speedo will fill the 5" hole. Usually a dash or two for sale on ebay. Good luck and happy Halloween! John
I have most of a 33 dash you could merge into that one for the surfaces around the center and glove box opening. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
One thing about it, I doubt anyone on here will make an argument for saving the flat part of that dash. It leaves you wide open to put in what ever you want though. A quick search shows some good and some Oh hell no dashes here. https://www.google.com/search?q=193...MAdO4oQTq_4D4Dw&ved=0CB8QsAQ&biw=1054&bih=602
The body and paint is going to stay the way it is. I've got frame off now. Doing hairpins. Leaving the old dropped axle and re chroming. White powder coated frame. The 49 303 Olds motor has some goodies in it and I plan to freshen it up as put it back in. Olds rear and not sure what for a Trans yet. But everything under the car and in the car will be done and clean.
What a great find!!! I'd love to have a 5 window that nice to build. Enjoy, the plan sounds good too. Keep us in pics...Tim
Just for an idea.........I grafted the bottom of a 34 chevy dash to the top of my 34 ford dash. I never liked the look of a 33-34 ford dash.
I have a complete original cherry 34 dash with all nice gauges. ash tray etc. No rust, shiny black paint. $600. Email for pics russ.32@hotmail.com
You certainly brought this thread back from the dead. You are only about 5 years late in the build here. If you only knew what this coupe and it’s owner have been through since this thread was started...... Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
