    Well I was wondering what you guys claim as being your favorite hot rod dash. 40 Ford seems to be fairly popular. I would love to see some pics of what you guy have done, preferably in model A's. I would also apriciate a little explanation of what it took to make it fit.

    Here's what I put in my '29 PU. It's a '31 Cad narrowed about 3" thru the center and the ends were reworked to fit the contour of the cowl. Has a mix of S/W and Eelco gauges in an aluminum insert fit inside the Cad panel. '55 Chevy ignition and light switch.

    I like the early plymouth and dodge ones, This is a 1933 plymouth in my A roadster. Auburns and 32 Lincolns and even 30s Cadillacs are nice but usually too much $$$.

    1935-36 dashes are good,
    I saw a 1934 dash in a 32 coupe,it looked fantastic.
    But don't have any pic's.

    The Mopar ones in early roadster's look good too.

    I think Kaydubs dash is a "GM Diesel Powered" dash. A friend of mine has one he picked up for like $25 from an antique dealer. I almost fainted.

    I really like the looks of that too!!

    I'm not where I can post pix at the moment, but my `30 coupe will feature a cut-down `52 Chevy dash, done as a two-tone deal to match the `61 two-tone Impala wheel. K-i-l-l-e-r!

    Exactly.

    I bought one for $5 two years ago. It sold to a guy in Sweden for $175 or so. Might should have kept it though. It was a killer.

    '40 in my RPU...

    How about Doane Spencer's dash?

    or Joe Nitti's?

    or maybe the Khougaz roadster? Tough choices, I'll take one of each!
